Bendix coasters - Because they have nothing inside apart from a gert big Bendix thread that bites the side of the hub to go forward 🙂
Does that count as one or infinite points of engagement?......
Another vote for Newmen Fade, I got a pair in the sales from Germany a few months ago and they're brilliant. Now I've got a silent rear hub I loathe the noise from my Pro 4/Hunt/DT 350's.
Someone mentioned Stan's, the set I have (330?) are as loud as Hopes...
Newmen Fade is very quiet. Came as standard on my Cube road bike.
Bitex hubs on my JRAs are pretty quiet. They're just standard pawl hubs, as are the Newmen Fades.
What makes a pawl hub quieter? Aside from grease instead of oil.
Would you consider this an accurate impression of how quiet it is?
I think I read that nukeproof did a hub that could run loud or quite. It was in my possibles list but ended up with Hunt's.

Definitely not my WTB tho 🙂
DT on a 18T ratchet are very quiet, but quite laggy. My heavy duty wheels had them but had to swap after using the 36T for 6 months in my other wheelset.
Nukeproof Horizon do have a set of quiet pawls, but have to be bought separately. Not tried them as the standard ones aren't too bad, but then I've had 20+ years on Hopes of various generations.

My Fade sounds nothing like that, it's more or less silent, can hear a little tick in the stand, eerie silence while riding.
Although I see Chris King has the same. I could believe that it's at least as effective as the green seal on the Hope Pro 4. And Tairin is from BC so they must have considered this.
