Wheels with a sexy click sound

Another factor is how much oil or grease is put in the freehub in the factory. Some are assembled almost dry, some have plenty of lube. It's all down to the individual doing the job. So you can get, for example, one Campag hub being noisy and another identical one being quiet.0

Why don't you sing pedestrians a song and perform them a puppet show while riding past on your high horse?
In other news, DT Swiss hubs can be loud.0 -
Clearly dealing with a few sycophants here..
Much as I value Ugo's contribution and do think you have made an odd choice.

The HOPE hubs on my Mountain Bike are silly-loud. As mentioned above I think you may struggle for £250...Condor Super Acciaio, Record, Deda, Pacentis.
Curtis 853 Handbuilt MTB, XTR, DT Swiss and lots of Hope.
Genesis Datum Gravel Bike, Pacentis (again).
Genesis Equilibrium Disc, 105 & H-Plus-Son.

I appreciate all contributions to my thread and incidentally am a regular reader of Ugo's blog. It was he who replied initially to my thread that it was 'pointless'. It is not pointless to me which was why I asked the question.Ugo is the quintessential expert on wheels, constructing them, and their inner workings. To turn away his contribution to any forum on them is ill-advised to say the least.
He may be an expert on wheel building etc and I respect him for this - I don't feel it necessary for him to answer
my first post on the forum in such a dismissive way by telling me it's pointless. It may be to him but it isn't to me.
Well said. No need for rudeness0 -
Hope Pro 3 hubs, they get you noticed like a loud fart at a funeral service...

Surely it would be much cheaper to get a good loud bell if you are commuting rather than relying on the sound of a freewheel!0

On shared cycle paths there is a place for both.Surely it would be much cheaper to get a good loud bell if you are commuting rather than relying on the sound of a freewheel!
I don't think you can go past Hope hubs for noise

Thanks for the advice guys. Just to clarify I don't cycle on pavements but there are some shared use paths in areas where I train ie Richmond Park.0
