I want a noisy free hub, what do you suggest?

my i9 hubs on my MTB make it sound like im being chased by a swarm of angry bees

23

I must say thatā€™s such a unique sound from the Hydra that alone makes its cool!

24

:grinning: spokester!, only the posh kids had those, at least with lolly sticks there was often a joke included. Chip forks if it was cooler weather

25

Also throw Hadley hubs into the mix. Though Iā€™m not sure they make road hubs. They are on par with Chris King & I9 in terms of quality, noise and bling factor, but are just a tad less expensive.

I used to love loud hubs. 2 months with the industry nine torch and Iā€™m almost ready for a dead silent one :joy::joy::joy:

Couldnā€™t think of another way of sharing Video, so stuck it on Instagram

Letā€™s invent a loud front hub and make millions.

33

Iā€™d reply, but I canā€™t hear you over the sound of my Industry Nine Hydra hubā€¦

(joke aside, itā€™s loud, too loud for my taste but the performance outweighs this)

Jonnyboy, that account is private, so we canā€™t listen to the glorious sounds of that gravel specific component :frowning:

Iā€™ve a lovely Newmen Evolution wheelset that make people pull over and let me pass in races because they think Iā€™m a pro about to lap them. Thatā€™s one advantage of a noisy freehub :smiley:

The other advantage is they saved several hundred grams from the Rovals that came on my epic. And added plenty of width, stiffness, etc

37

Basically yes, youā€™ll either need to buy a hub, spokes and pay someone to build it onto your current rim OR buy a new wheel which may be a little cheaper.

Oops. Changed it. Prepared yourself for some underwhelming photos!

Iā€™ve got a Hope RS Mono hub on one of my wheels and itā€™s loud as hell. Iā€™ve comments on it before :rofl:

Is it ok to remove ā€œalmost allā€ grease from dt swiss 240 hubs?
