Clicky freehubs

cgarossi

I like clicky freehubs! I love the sound. It just sounds like good engineering for some reason.

Unfortunately my freehub doesnt click so much. Does anyone know what freehubs make a good clicky noise?

Always good when you're chasing down (or being chased by) someone with Hope hubs. You know exactly where they are as they sound like a chainsaw.

hopes are the loudest hubs I've heard

I don't like 'em, mine remind me I should be pedalling :oops:

Tune make some pretty damn loud hubs.

tbh though, there are more important things I look for in a hub. (like colour )

I must be deaf. Honestly after about 15 seconds of owning my Pro2's (had 3 sets in total), the only time I hear them is when I'm pushing my DH bike.

Don't be fooling into thinking I'm some kinda Steve Peat style pedal king ether ha ha.

I got a set of crank bros Iodine's.

Clicky is not the word they sream on fast runs. Sound great all the guys in front hear me coming now. No more "excuse me" or "rider coming past" they have already moved over buy the time I arrive at full tilt.

I used to laugh at pepole with noisy freehubs but now i understand.

Do Hope freehubs only fit in Hope hubs?

Would that not do the same thing as reflectors and snap the spokes though

I think so yes since each hub is designed differently

Doombrain

my ultegra makes a hell of a noise.

GHill

I like the noise too. Not convinced it sounds like good engineering to me though.

i had a hope rear hub once before and it sounded awful, the clicking wasnt at all uniform and sounded like all sorts of bits of metal were randomly rattling around.

i much prefer the sound of a dtswiss hub, they still click, not ll that loudly but they sound like pure precision.

i like the sound of chris king hubs too, they are very loud but sound very precise, unlike hope!

I love clickly hubs Think Pro 2's and Abbah/Lawwills (Sun) are the loudest.

I thought mine was fairly loud, at least compared to my XT hub, it's almost totally silent! Getting a hope one soon, we'll see what that's like!

submityournentries

my halo combat hub sounds pretty damm sweet, although i havent heard any hope ones, so nothing great to compare it too really

i look forward to a big hub spinning competition next time im with a big group of riders to hear whos is the nicest

I still love the sound of my old, original, hope bulb on my old bike.

Glad I read this thread, I thought there was something wrong with my Hope... :oops:

It is very useful as I often ride along a canal towpath, just stop pedaling and the walkers can here me a mile off!
