Hello just brought some mavic cosmic carbone sls and the rear hub isn't as loud as I was hoping. Love a loud freewheel. Is there any way I could make it louder replacing the guts or something? If so what do you recommend
Cheers
Kieran

    Use it. As the grease get spread about the noise will increase.

    Tape a playing card to the side of yur frame so that it sticks into the wheel. Or buy some spokey dokeys. Both will do the job fine.

    Bit of cardboard on the chainstay? Spokey Dokes?

    You need one of these. Although it comes with the warning that the product is awesome, so be careful.

    To solve the issue on one of my hubs, I dismantled the freehub and remove the engagement pawls.

    I then filed them down on the non-engagement side - just a mm or so. In effect, this makes them 'drop' further onto the tooth and amplifies the noise they make.

    I'll post up photos so others can see the process.

    I once fitted a flux capacitor to my bicycle - ok, the 88mph required to actually make it work was a bugger to achieve but when it did hit the magical number - well, gosh darn - boy did it fly.
