It's entirely possible I've developed an 'old guy' thing about it. I used to own a very loud FIAT 500 Abarth which I adored, then traded for a much quieter Chevy Impala five years ago. I don't think I'd be ok with the yappy little Italian car now, I've turned into a grumpy old man who wants his

The freewheel mechanisms in my hubs vary from Onyx (completely silent), through Shimano (fairly quiet), DT Swiss (not so quiet), to Hope (pretty loud). But I can't say that I really think about or notice hub noise when I'm riding. I really only notice it when I'm servicing bikes in the garage.

I don't like the fancy, loud hubs. I don't mind them on other people's bikes but I like a quiet bike. Just my preference. I just want something reliable that will last. I got a Phil touring hub and asked before I got it if it'd be loud. It's whatever you like. But how does it ride? On

For those who have installed TA rings on a 5 bolt spider, where do you orient the pin relative to the crank arm? In this case (TA crank with TA rings), one chainring bolt is "hidden" behind the arm. I figured the pin would go behind the arm as well, but that's not an option. So, if the arm

I think the S67 is the black version of the S65. I prefer the S83 (aka Frog), with its two bolt setup vs the single bolt of the S65/67. It's much easier to make fine adjustments to the saddle angle with the S83. Nick -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups
