[Closed] hope pro 2s some louder than others ?

Grease in the freehub.

Age.

And the tiny little volume control that goes up to 11.

Yes, 11. It's one louder.

stronger springs
less grease

How they have been rebuilt, some use grease, others use oil, thickness and quantity of lube on the pawls basically.

And the frame they're mounted to. Some bikes act as a sounding box.

Thanks guys, what grease / oil would you recommend ? What is top quality?

Cheers

Hope recommend an EP(extreme pressure)type grease because of the high loads at the tip of the pawls.The factory use Mobil 222, but it's not always easy to get in small quantities, we normally use Castrol Spheerol EP2 (about £2.50 for a 400g cartridge from your local Buck&Hickman trade counter).
