Lostee Posted November 13, 2017 Posted November 13, 2017 A quick question, from a non-technical or mechanical savvy person... Is there a Chinese hub that makes a sound similar to the ones made by the Hope hubs? I want to get me some Chinese wheels, but I want a hub that makes such a noise. I see they have Novatec; is it as loud?
Psyrax Posted November 13, 2017 Posted November 13, 2017 A piece of plastic and clothes peg on the chain stay - done!
BaGearA Posted November 13, 2017 Posted November 13, 2017 Novatech is not as loud but is on par with quality ECC hubs are pretty loud( and cheapish) but sound more like chris king than hope
Lostee Posted November 13, 2017 Author Posted November 13, 2017 A piece of plastic and clothes peg on the chain stay - done! Hahaha, and should be cheapest of them all!
Lostee Posted November 13, 2017 Author Posted November 13, 2017 Novatech is not as loud but is on par with quality ECC hubs are pretty loud( and cheapish) but sound more like chris king than hope Thank you!!
Fox3 Posted November 13, 2017 Posted November 13, 2017 The hope hubs are awesome though. When my buddy and I ride behind okes they know it!
Fox3 Posted November 13, 2017 Posted November 13, 2017 What I am trying to say is consider them...perhaps save a little...
Lostee Posted November 13, 2017 Author Posted November 13, 2017 What I am trying to say is consider them...perhaps save a little... Yeah neh. Do you know how roughly they go for? I will still get the chinese wheels and then maybe put the real Hopes. I love their sound.
Fox3 Posted November 13, 2017 Posted November 13, 2017 I got them already built on a set of Flow's, I would reckon front is R1300 and back about R2700. Hope pro 4...brilliant.
Fox3 Posted November 13, 2017 Posted November 13, 2017 What does novatech go for? I found the following: https://bike-addict.co.za/collections/hope-tech-components https://www.cwcycles.co.za/parts/hubs-mtb
V12man Posted November 13, 2017 Posted November 13, 2017 Yeah neh. Do you know how roughly they go for? I will still get the chinese wheels and then maybe put the real Hopes. I love their sound.Decent Chinese suppliers will build using hope hubs if you ask. Not as cheap as novatec but worth the extra
Fleming Posted November 14, 2017 Posted November 14, 2017 Have a look at "Koozer" hubs. I have never used them or even seen a set but overseas reviews seem pretty good.
Lostee Posted November 14, 2017 Author Posted November 14, 2017 Decent Chinese suppliers will build using hope hubs if you ask. Not as cheap as novatec but worth the extra Great stuff. I will find out if they can do this for me. Much better than buying the wheels and change the hubs. Thank you!
Lostee Posted November 14, 2017 Author Posted November 14, 2017 Have a look at "Koozer" hubs. I have never used them or even seen a set but overseas reviews seem pretty good. I will check them out. It's amazing how many brands there are out there! I better be fit for these hubs... I can't be passed very often freewheeling and making that noise. It's gonna annoy me when people admire my bike while passing. I should try do the passing haha
BaGearA Posted November 14, 2017 Posted November 14, 2017 If we going for the loudest of the loudest hubs Go with Roval SL or Industry9 ... those make A huge geraas
Hairy Posted November 14, 2017 Posted November 14, 2017 Yeah neh. Do you know how roughly they go for? I will still get the chinese wheels and then maybe put the real Hopes. I love their sound.besides sound, there is also the pick up speed and the Hopes do so rather quickly
