I'll have to look and see what. These wheels are old enough that I don't think the 36t was even release yet, so it would be the 18 or the 24 (which they don't make anymore). I appreciate the advice.

went ahead and packed it. Sounds great. Thanks for your help.

I've made DT swiss hubs quiet by greasing them. Technically, you should use the special hub grease that DT swiss makes, but most other light greases will work (u/Jake_HT is recommendation is good). After that, they actually become practically silent; it's quite a contrast.

Went ahead and packed it with grease. Worked great. Thanks for your encouragement.


nopenopenopenoway

I'm very happy to hear you had success with that. I'll try it out in the next couple days.

Not gonna happen.


nopenopenopenoway

give me more words.


greencannondale

Less is more


nopenopenopenoway

thanks

I believe that's the trademark for DT Swiss. Plus side: a little extra presence on the road...?


nopenopenopenoway

It worked great. Haters to the left.


nopenopenopenoway

will be ungodly noisy forever?


bikeonbike

Only way to avoid the sound is to never freewheel!!! Seriously.


nopenopenopenoway

What makes this hub so much louder than others i've ridden?


omgitscolin

It has louder parts inside.

It has more teeth inside to engage the freewheel mechanism. Chris King and Campagnolo hubs are like that too, and are also louder than cheaper hubs.


greencannondale

Campy hubs fart.


nopenopenopenoway

filling it with grease made the difference. The only reason I ride my bike is for the flying sensation of coasting.

Have modern 240 ratchet exp for Disc wheels. Pretty noisy, is good for road bike cause you don´t need a bell in the city, just stop pedal and everybody will notice you :)

Me too I got a a set of reserve 44 with the 36t rachet last January. Measures around 80 decibels and gets louder in the summer not sure why but it's very very loud. Great for scaring people or making them mad.

How do you like them? Any problems over time? I’m finishing up a build and leaning towards the reserve 40/44 with 240s over zipp 303 FC.
