simple question, what are the loudest clicking rear hubs that are compatible with shimano 2011 10 speed cassette?
Hope Pro IIs produce a god-awful racket
Pro IIs are probably loudest, but the whir of Christ Kings seems to penetrate further and worry walkers more...
Deffo Pro IIs for that glorious noise...but it depends what frame you fit them to. Some reverberate louder than others IME.
Must be the Hope, you'd think it could be sorted. Reminds me of the old sit up and begs from the 50/60s or some wooden contraption from one of Vincent Prices torture chambers. Extra annoying on night rides.
SRAM Campagnolo and Shimano manage to get their top end kit almost silent.
Glad they haven't sorted the noise in the hope hubs. Go for hope. chris king do produce a lovely sound though.
The noise from Pro IIs is obscene. Far far too loud.
Definately not my mavic hubs! They're nearly silent!
As for loud, pro 2 evos are getting to the point where you need ear defenders.
Glad they haven't sorted the noise in the hope hubs
Seriously?
Love the pro 2s noise,great for giving the slow person in front the hurry up
Chris King, I thought they were faulty when I first got them.........
My Saint rear hub was really noisy, then I got the bearings changed and now it's nearly silent.
Not sure what they did with the clicky bit but it's gone
+1 for hope pro2 but you can pack them with grease to shut them up a bit 😉
you can quieten Pro IIs with grease, but it slowly comes back
Each to thier own, I love the noise from my ProII...
The angry bee noise of a King is far nicer that the common click of a Hope. 😉
Hope pro2 on a Whyte E120=LOUD! But i try to pedal more to keep it quiet!
Ringle were always ridiculously loud (in a good way) 😀
Superstar superlegga is louder than a proII imo. Sounds a bit like an angry swarm of hornets....I think it may even be toooo loud for me.

Yous all wierd.
My Royce is easily louder than my new pro 2 hub
Crank bros are nicely noisy. Enough to say "Hey, speed up" but not so much to make it seem like you're in the scene from Total Recall where they get chased by the drilling machine.
tbh, i got some crossmax sx wheels, and before that i ran hope hubs.
You could catch someone up on a climb or descent or on the flat, and they knew that someone was behind them. I've got to now communicate through the power of voice with others.. :/
240s?
I like the sound of my campag hub.
Hugi - with the titanium 'lemon juicer' pawl thingy - may not be loudest - but you can tune it with different lubes.

Agree with you DT78 - I've got one of these on my Airbourne, and it's louder than the Hope II on my Cube. Sounds great!
