UPDATE: I greased my Silver freehub and it is QUIET! I expected a change, but with the normal road sounds of the world it is now virtually silent. Very pleased with the result of a few youtube tutorials and some bravery. - Keith On Tuesday, May 28, 2024 at 11:33:50 AM UTC-7 krhe...@gmail.com

No need to decide against an otherwise excellent hub due to a loud freehub. Apply this stuff generously to the pawls and it will silence it several fold. https://www.dumondetech.com/portfolio/pro-x-freehub-grease/ Depending on how much you ride, you may need to reply it every few months or

I have one pair of wheels built onto Onyx hubs, and because the rear hub uses a sprag clutch instead of pawls or a star ratchet like DT Swiss, they are completely silent when freewheeling. I find it very nice that when I'm stooging along out in the country and stop pedalling, I don't have any

Brian, I don't think there a cassette hub made that integrates the pawls into the hub body that is by any measure, quiet. I've spent too much time on YT listening to hubs and they're all chainsaw-like, the only different is to what degree you like you saw sound.. "Special grease" only

Glad to be of some help! It’s probably a bit louder sounding because it’s echoing inside my garage and off my garage door… but I don’t find it loud or distracting compared to others. Now, my Crust has a Hope rear hub, and that’s even louder than a White, possibly louder than Chris King too.

Thanks for everyone’s input. Brian that video is super helpful. I would say that is pretty loud. 1-10; deore 2, silver 6, white 8.5. I think I’m looking for a 4 on my scale On Monday, May 27, 2024 at 8:31:43 AM UTC-7 Brian Turner wrote: > If it helps, here’s a video I made of the Silver hub

I was going to buy a set of SILVER hubs. Once I did some homework, I realized that it was best to keep what I already had, the stock wheels on my Clem. The hubs are silent running and the rims are good quality for my needs. Kim Hetzel. On Monday, May 27, 2024 at 7:29:21 AM UTC-7 David Hays

“Something a touch louder than Deore” is how I’d describe the Silver hub. I have one on my Sam. They have great engagement after coasting. Not as much “slip” as other hubs. I’ve really liked it. k. > On May 26, 2024, at 11:34 PM, Brian Watts wrote: > > something a touch louder -- You

I can’t seem to find the link, but a few years ago, Will posted a video of the sound of a Silver hub. I’d say the description of being slightly louder than a Deore XT hub is accurate. But, nowhere near as loud as a White hub, that’s for sure. - Brian Lexington KY -- You received this

Hi all! Can anyone shed light on the sound of Riv Silver Hubs? I have a White Ind. T11 that is quite loud, I want something more subtle on my Sam build. I'm familiar with the very quiet Deore option and wouldn't mind something a touch louder. I'm in contact with Rich on my wheelset and his
