Chinese equivalent of the Hope Hub

There isn't a Chinese equivalent...

What is the cycling world coming to?

 

For years it was the product's weight that was the determining factor, then the industry introduced us to aerodynamics. We chose our wheels according to depth, bladed spokes etc.

 

Now sound?

Hahaha, each to their own, mate... each to their own!

 

You can never have them all. So you choose one that will make you complain less for not having others.

Mine are no longer loud

The sound is easy to control. It's purely a factor of which lubricant you use in the freebody. My Hopes were pretty loud after servicing. DT 350's on the new bike is dead quiet and I quiet like it.

When they stop, should they not be serviced or looked at? I know nothing about the hubs, so forgive me if this is a noob question.

If we going for the loudest of the loudest hubs 

 

Go with Roval SL or Industry9 ... those make A huge geraas

 

If you got the cash then Industry 9 for the win.

Get Hope Pro 4 Hubs. They are by far the best Hubs in that price range. Order from CRC. 

 

EDIT: And for crying out load, don't get any other colour than black.

Please compare the sound of a Hope hub to a Campag one for me.

 

Which is louder?

only a Chinese knock-off, which will end up being way below par...

Mine have 1000's of KM on them, the pawl springs are shot, still work 100% tho so no need to change them yet.

The massive decrease in engagement angle was worth the upgrade for me... +1 Hope

Love the sound of my Hope Hub on the trail.

 

Hate the sound of my Hope while setting gears or trying to pin point a sound on the bike with the rear wheel rotating.
