After damaging my rear hope rear hub Im on the lookout for a. New wheelset I've become accustomed to the angry fishing reel noise that hope make ( even though I hated it at first) wouldnt mind a change this time around so was wondering what other hubs make a similiar sound.
Kings and hadleys are out of my budget at the moment so any ideas ?
Ringle disc jockeys are equally as vocal as Hopes. They're a quality bit of kit too. A bit cheaper than hope, but as good IMHO

They look nice
halo..?
I have a Halo, and its proper "Angry wasp" noisy, not unpleasant, but different to Hope 😀
What about using hope's legendary customer service to repair your old hub then sell it on to subsidise a new purchase of king or hadley?
Another vote for Sun Ringle hubs here - the one that came with my Demo 9 was very loud (in a good way) and really really well made.
