Re: [RBW] Buzzy hubs, hipster or window rattling?

2022-02-10 Thread Patrick Moore
I rather like the slow, sedate ticking of overridden pawls while pedaling
my AM hub; with SA 3 speeds you get pawl noise both coasting and pedaling.
But since I dligently oil the hub, the ticking is always very muted; I
should back off a bit to make the sound louder.

I forget if you get overriden pawl noise on fixed multispeed hubs; I guess
you do since the mechanism requires multiple interior drivers.

I hate loud hubs. On my occasional ride on a bike with loud hubs, I find
myself avoiding coasting, soft pedaling just to avoid hearing the dang hub.
Then I get rid of the bike or wheel.

Re: [RBW] Buzzy hubs, hipster or window rattling?

2022-02-10 Thread Mr. Ray

Rohloff hubs use 25 ml of Rohloff oil.  The oil acts as a lubricant and 
also a sound dampner especially when the internal gears are new.  Sometimes 
oil leaks out (sweat oil or laying the hub cog side down).  This is normal 
and doesn't mean the hub is damaged so with less oil inside the hub, there 
is more noise.  If you are not sure how much oil is inside your hub then do 
an oil change.  Anyway, once your hub has lots of miles, the noise will be 
gone even when there is less than 25ml in the hub.

My new-to-me Rohloff (I don't think it has many miles on it) seems eerily 
quiet so it's funny to hear others say they're loud. It has some ticking 
and buzzes and vibrations in various gears (or coasting) but not very loud 
and I love all of it. 

I should emphasize I don't HATE my WI hub - it's light and pretty and 
fabulous - I just thought I'd be more into the freewheeling noise. But it's 
ok!

Re: [RBW] Buzzy hubs, hipster or window rattling?

2022-02-10 Thread 'Hetchins52' via RBW Owners Bunch


Overheard — A regular customer standing at the front display counter in 
venerable, high end bike shop to the shop manager: ‘Hey, you used to have 
some nice Chris King hubs in there but I don’t see them now. What happened?

Manager: ‘Yeah, we did, but we had to remove them. They were keeping all 
the other hubs up at night!’

Re: [RBW] Buzzy hubs, hipster or window rattling?

2022-02-09 Thread Joe Mullins
I really wanted to try one of the silent Onyx hubs that Riv had a few weeks ago 
but couldn’t bring myself to spend the money on them. Has anyone tried the 
Silver hubs? How do those sound?

And I certainly like hearing the loud hubs…when they are on a bike sneaking up 
behind me! It seems like at least once a week I’ll get the crap scared out of 
me by someone failing to warn of their approach as I gaze around enjoying the 
breeze and peace of quiet of my darn-close-to-silent Shimano hubs.

I prefer quiet hubs which is why I typically stick to Shimano. You can hear 
them if you try but it’s not overwhelming. It seems like there is no mechanical 
benefit from the extra noise so there is no need for me to switch.

My Rohloff’s are louder than I like but I put up with it since I like the hubs.

Re: [RBW] Buzzy hubs, hipster or window rattling?

I have White Industries hubs on my full suspension MTB. They are not as loud as 
Kings or i9’s but I do here them. Did not really bother me but I am amazed at 
the quietness of the Deore hubs on my Clem. I mean, they are silent! I had no 
idea.

[RBW] Buzzy hubs, hipster or window rattling?

2022-02-09 Thread Joe Bernard
Just back from a ride on my fancy schmancy custom with its fancy schmancy 
White Industries hubs. Why did I think that loud freewheeling buzz was the 
cool jam?? I feel like I'm on a Harley with straight pipes pissing all the 
neighbors off! What's the verdict around here, are buzzy hubs hip and cool 
and I'm a grouchy old anti-hip and cool person?
