I’m used to a nicely oiled ss cog or a silent freehub on my road bike and this buzzing is going to spoil those silent-singletrack-freewheel times.. i’m sure i’ll get used to it but i’d rather tone it down from ‘up to 11’ to about ‘3’. It’s the SS version too so it’s got more clicks per rev than the 9-spd hub.
So I’ve re-packed it with thick grease and that’s made little difference.
Before i go and ruin the pawls experimenting, has anyone found a way to quieten a Hope freehub?
I thought of trying the zip-tie pawl spring bodge, or just flexing the pawls to offer less spring, but i was hoping to find a simpler solution – but nothing’s come to mind.
cheers.
