Pack it with grease

shimano are pretty quiet, and ive never had one fail on me.

Shimano. I prefer them on my tourer although I have hope on most everything else.

cool, cheers guys

Tell her she’s wrong and GOI.

Shimano hubs have terrible freehubs – quiet
Hope and Chris King make great freehubs – noisy

QED

But seriously, you could always try and find an old Shimano ‘silent clutch’ hub which are truly silent or a True Precision Stealth hub (http://www.trueprecisioncomponents.com/tpc-products/mtb-rear-hub/).

Open free hub. Pack with grease.

Simples.

I too like silence on the bike. Its a higher evolutionary thing!
