“Quite”? You mean quiet.
”Nosier”? You mean noisier.
“Asterix”? You mean asterisk.
“Paws”? You mean pawls.
Spellcheck wasn't working today 😅
@@thehigsy Nothing wrong with spelling, just wrong words
THANK YOU, ugh it grinds my gears every video
Bit of a cock up n I'm only a learner on bike bits.
I've always looked at it like this.... If we can hear your back wheel ratcheting then you aren't pedaling 😂❤
All I want to hear is my tires on the trail.
and here's me trying to make all my hubs quieter as the noise is annoying as hell. Especially when you have 120 poe or more. The hubs all came bone dry and when I asked them why their reply was "people were complaining about quiet hubs so we stopped adding assembly grease".
So luckily adding grease did half the job. I don't want to sound like a pack of angry bees every time i coast.
Louder,yuk. I like quieter.
I heard the latest Shimano SLX freehub today and it sounded like a DENTIST'S DRILL .
I do not know why but I like the rachet sound to must be some childhood thing. But I will not go through that much trouble to get it.
if you bike on shared paths/trails with pedestrians and you have a really loud freehub/freewheel it can alert pedestrians in front of you and theyll usually move out of the way without you needing to use a bell
Nois = Quality😂.
You don't need a Bell, people hear you coming😋
Double up on the pawl springs.
Silent hubs are so much better
Until you come around a blind corner and there is a bear in the middle of the trail. Loud hubs save lives.
@@joehoeper4648You're serious? I can't tell in the 21st century.
@@TheChipMcDonald serious.
i just got a new hub and its super loud, i frequently ride mixed trails and multiple times people have gotten out of my way and i dont have to say a word. usually they hear me before i even see them.
@@billybigs4207 have you heard of this invention called “bicycle bell”? It does a great job of alerting people when it’s needed while being completely quiet when it isn’t needed.
Paws??
I hate a noisy freehub.
In my DT hubs I put amsoil dominator synthetic in the summer and molykote 33 for winter. With a light coat it's already noisy, no need for oils, that's asking for troubles 😅
Got a like from me for mentioning trials riders 😅
#When you... traverse a road full of bigger vehicles?
I think it's best if they know u exist? Wer u exist...
To do that... I think louder noise is first on d list? 🤔
Noisy hubs: Skrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
(On ur right truck driver!)
Truck driver: Oy! Matey! You on my right?
You on ur bike? 😅
Biker: Ayt! No sudden turning right, yah? 😂
That noise my friend...
Prevented ur premature death.? 🤔 #Theories
because WRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
What is better for Enduro racing? Hope pro 5 or i9 hydra?
I9 more ingagemant you will feel it special on climbs.
I have a spank hex drive with 102 ingagemant points and I love it it's so much more precise
What?!? I can't hear your loud freehub hate over the beautiful sound of my oiled freehub.
Or other way around, use thiccc lithium grease and your hub will be much quieter.
We cyclist - the louder the betterer
Peenoise type of question 😂
jempoy question
Grease and oil are to prevent wear. Can’t believe they didn’t say that.
Bears
Another "trend" to sell something you don't need to have fun on a bike. Take the grease out of your hubs and bb while you're at it, make your bike sound like junk falling apart while you help it fall apart.... so you'll have to buy more stuff. Run super low pressures and wreck your rims while you're at it, everyone reading this are pro enduro athletes and that extra 10/10ths advantage... Take out half your spokes, then cut your bars down to 20cm wide; unless you're reading this in June, so hopefully you got the bulletin that super wide bars are mandatory. Start saving for some drop bars, which you won't want to be embarrassed to not
be using in July, because you might get caught with them in August when you'll need to buy riser bars again. Don't forget, low profile knobbies are required in September, and we will be ditching tubeless rims so budget for that.
It's the rules, you must obey.
Paws?
pawls
Yo no txt please. Very intrusive. (
- Sound needs energy to be produced
- The more sound, the more energy.
- Energy per time is Power
- The more sound, the more power you waste as a rider to produce sound
- The more power you WASTE to produce sound, the less power you spend for speed
but the sound may take a tiny amount of energy
@@bittasweetsymphony726 thats true, but just for those who think they have a faster bike or freehub, when it sounds loud (alot of people think that):
It will never make you faster, but always make you slower (in descents for example). Even though it might not be a relevant amount.
But to damper the sound, you have to fill with grease, which acts like glue slowing your free hub to turn.
So the amount of energy lost in the contact of mechanical pieces is smaller than the grease effect. ( I tried once with a sticky one, I know what I'm talking about 😂)
Still I hate noisy hubs and still I like my mechanical parts to be protected.
@@vince160du67😂 the guy not knowing the fastest walking path from a to b, saying to the other guy that was faster: you cheated, you took the bicycle. Yes, with the bicycle you would be faster. No he wasn‘t faster because of cheating, but because he just new the shortest distance, walked even slower, but still was faster.
First of all.
Noise is always a byproduct of friction, not the other way around.
If you lube something WITH ALOT OF FRICTION, you minimize first the friction, and as a byproduct also the noise.
If you lube something, with very little friction, it could even happen, that you increase friction > later more to that.
Last piece of knowledge:
Every lube is adding friction, with it beeing there, but removes friction by beeing there.
It is the ratio between those 2 which decides wether it is helpful or not (see above > system with little friction for ex. ceramic bearings)
In engineering you go always to extreme situation, to proof linear things: if you would stuff things in your freehub until it would be blocked, you would have an infinite amount of friction, but no noise 😉
Now to your mistake:
The freehubs, with alot less noise, are not freehubs with alot of friction (in the freewheel direction) which were lubed very strongly🤣🤣🤣🤣 those freehubs, have a completely different construction, which generates less friction during freewheel mode.
Now the point you completely missed:
NOT lubing a system with alot of friction generates always the most possible friction with this system. That was the topic here and my point.
Lubing the system is always an optimisation problem, as we call it (there will be a certain point, where you will reach the optimum and before and beyond its worse)
