im looking for a new rear wheel can anyone recomend me loud rear hubs at good prices. im struggling because i shop online.

What?

It’s quite easy. He’s after recommendations for a rear wheel that has a loud free hub. And, because he shops online, he’s struggling to hear what they sound like…

…i think.

Chris King, Industry 9, Hope, Halo Supa Drive (IIRC)

Yeah as above if you search for any of the above in you tube you’ll have a good idea what they sound like too

cheers guys sorry for the confusion

No confusion, just rolling out my standard LOUD NOISE joke… fell on deaf ears this time though.

MrS, not so. It’s just I DON’T KNOW WHAT WE’RE YELLING ABOUT!!!

In other news. I love lamp, carpet and desk.

hope pro 3. the loudest I’ve heard yet.

lamp, carpet and desk.

are they a firm of solicitors?

Yep, specialists in the laws of office furniture.

These aren’t hub-based but are loud. 🙂

Chris King ISO – Didn’t realise it would sound quite like it does, it’s almost embarassing…

Hope Pro II EVO are quite annoying ahem…. loud. I have them, way louder than CK.

My Fulcrum Red metal 3’s are pretty loud too

If you would loud hubs that are decent and good value then you’ll struggle to beat Hope ProII Evo. Great value in Hoops form with Stans rims and a satisfyingly loud click.

EDIT: That said, I was out walking the other day and a roadie on what looked to be a very high-end bike rode past. The rear hub noise was LUDICROUS. Like a ProII only much louder and with much more rapid clicks (no, this wasn’t just because he was going faster! 😀 ) Anyone any ideas what it might have been?

I’m running both Chris Kings and Hope Pro Evo 2’s and the Hopes are far far louder than the CK’s. In fact the CK’s just buzz and aren’t that loud in my opinion. The Hopes sort of “clatter” and let walkers know your coming up behind them.

Could still be Hope… I’ve got a Pro III on my road bike and it sounds louder than the Pro II on my MTB- dunno if that’s all in my head or not though.

Chris King but pedal backwards lots to get full airaid siren effect… Oh and buy earplugs for your mates too.

Superstar superlegera very noisy. Makes children cry and dogs run away whimpering 😯

You shouldn’t be able to hear the hub on freewheel cos’ you should be pedalling grrrrrrrrrr Chuck Norris doesn’t freewheel ! 😀

Go hard or go home!

+1 for Pro II Evo, it’s like waving a football rattle. Though I’m constantly amazed at how many grockles walking in the middle of the bleedin’ road STILL don’t hear me coming FFS..

I’m was going to put a Hope Pro2 hubbed rear on the classifieds this week. All black, WTB Speeddisc AM rim, 26″, QR adapters. Crisp and smooth.

£75 posted. Let me know if you’re keen, my email’s:

By the way I flippin’ love Hope hubs, I have a pair on my MTB and thoroughly recommend them 😀

Hope Bulb (faster engagement – nicer sounding ‘buzz’ imho) or Pro2 get my vote..

playing card, clothes peg…. done

My Hope Pro 2 😉

Pro 2’s are pretty loud but for a loud annoying buzz the Chris King universals on my hardtail are pretty hard to beat , they seem much louder than my mates ISO’s (think the noise of a load of 2 stroke 125’s racing round a circuit)

My hope Pro3’s are really loud. Great for psyching out the rider in front when you freewheel, right behind them. 😀

The new smaller hope pawl springs seem to of made my road pro 3’s a little quiter than they were when new. Hope said the smaller pawls are to reduce drag but I guess there is less “twang” now so less noise.

Hope Pro 2 EVOs

Use whatever hub you like and add a Turbospoke!

Just get a normal hub and bring my girlfriend along when you go riding…

is that an offer for me to ride your girlfriend or have i miss understood?
