i remember my old cannondale chase 2, 2004 model

didnt use to make noise while riding along and not pedalling and i dont think it used to make a noise if you did something like pedal backwards

how is this done? what is on the bike because some bikes make a noise when you are not pedalling, but how is no noise possible like it was on my old bike?

    Some bikes have virtually silent clutch mechanisms in the freehub body.

    some older shimano ones were really whisper quiet

    Hope hubs on the other hand, you can measure them on the richter scale

    If riding an XC race bike is like touching the trail,
    then riding a rigid singlespeed is like licking it
    ... or being punched by it, depending on the day
