Minion Posted November 8, 2011 Share It's the sound of the freehub pawls sliding over the ratchet. If it's a ball bearing sound, something has gone terribly wrong.http://www.parktool.com/uploads/files/library/zipp-parts.jpghttp://www.parktool.com/blog/repair-help/freehub-service Campag wheels are know for being quite loud when freewheeling. The hollow SRAM Red cassette is also supposed magnify the sound. If you don't like the sound, you can reduce it by taking off the freehub and putting a whole lot of grease around the ratchet. My wheels are almost silent when freewheeling because of this. Edit: added 1000 words. Edited November 8, 2011 by Edman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patches Posted November 8, 2011 Share Ja man that kind of rachet sound. Which hubs does that? Not sur e about road hubs... but Chris King, Hope and Industry 9 each have a distinct sound. Shimano hubs, on the other hand, are quite quiet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
