    I thought you wanted a quiet freehub?

  • I do ideally but surely they are worth a look?

  • When it comes to freehubs, there's noisy and then there is Chris King.

  • i like making noise

  • But the noise is better than hope hubs.

  • you will hate it

  • Watched videos online that don't look that bad.

  • The noise is akin to a bees, whether the Hope is a cricket in a repetitive drone.

    Neither noise are better, just different.

  • Hope is clicky which I found annoying.

    Chris King sounds like a wheel rubbing bees

  • Chris King sounds like a fisherman making a long cast just behind you, constantly.

  • Just so I understand, this is when you're not pedalling right?

  • Fresh or Saltwater fishing?

  • I thought it was Shimano that made the fishing tackle.

  • Just so I understand, this is when you're not pedalling right?

    Yarp

    Fresh or Saltwater fishing?

    Salt, on reflection.

  • Good.

    Carry on.

  • I'm going to go for the wheels. if they annoy the hell out of me ill be selling them again for what I paid.

  • Just keep pedalling.

  • And don't lean!

  • I got one p_nctr in 500kms over Christmas, it was my rear wheel, 25c Gatorskin on Richey OCR rim, classic snakebite flat when I hit a small pothole.

    Why do I feel yu're blaming me for this?

    Stop buying conti's.

  • Not blaming you, just my experience that wider rims are not a panacea for pinch flats.

  • Those Gatorskins are rubbish in the wet btw, and will be coming off as soon as I have the cash.

  • Just keep pedalling.

    But don't you have hope hubs?

  • GATORSKINS are so shit

  • Going to chuck some Vittoria Pave on next month.

  • They are quite puncture-y too BTW.
