[Closed] Syntace rear hub - How loud?
Anyone on here got Syntace rear hub? I'm considering the W35 wheels but not a fan of loud hubs - any direct experience/comparison with Hope etc appreciated.
Just got them. Hum is very, very, very loud. Imagine Chris King x 2.
However build quality is astonishing and durability is legendary (10 years warranty).
Does the UK importer bring these in, and if so, how much?
Very loud, way louder than a Pro II.
I did a quick, not particularly scientific (I used an decibelmeter app) when we first got a Syntace wheel in the shop. Results with phone at 0.4m, Pro II Evo freehub = 79.3dB, Syntace W30 freehub = 90.6dB. Pretty big difference
Really loud indeed, up until the point that the microscopic springs start to disintegrate
Syntace rear hub - how [s]loud[/s] expensive? FTFY !
Are they more expensive than, say Tune?
Am going to guess they around the £150 mark??!!
But am guessing they will be quality as i rate all the Syntace products i have had on my bikes...
But have to admit if they are super noisy then perhaps i wouldn't bother

That's Pro 2 money, so not desperate then?
To be honest that was a complete guess and what do you mean by desperate?! How much do you think they go for?!

I've no idea, and the distributor's website doesn't help, hence why I was asking.

I'm reasonably happy to spend £150ish on a hub, on the basis that it'll last for years; would be less keen to spend £300+ on a CK rear.
well the rear hub is 395 euro according to their website
Lots of loud hubs can be made quieter by using oil rather than grease in the pawls/ratchet.

Hope it is, then.
