The quietest free hub I have heard is the Ultegra 6700, it is basically silent.
(Note these are the hubs you buy as spare parts, not the hubs which come in the 6700 series wheels, which are a little noisier)
Cheers
Dave.

Have a set of Pro-lite Braccianos, and they are heaps quiet, compared to my previous Mavic CXP22.

When your Bracciano's get louder you just need to take the freehub off, re-grease everything and they'll be all quiet again.kokoman wrote:Have a set of Pro-lite Braccianos, and they are heaps quiet, compared to my previous Mavic CXP22.

I hope so and yeah you do. I worked in one for a while and you get some wobbly questions thrown at you.AndyRevill wrote:He was being very much tongue in cheek while just passing on the way some people think.

But is this required? I.e can we use the 'loudness' as a guideline to regressing the freehub or can we continue to ride? My question relates to all wheels I guess, not just your prolites.jacks1071 wrote:When your Bracciano's get louder you just need to take the freehub off, re-grease everything and they'll be all quiet again.kokoman wrote:Have a set of Pro-lite Braccianos, and they are heaps quiet, compared to my previous Mavic CXP22.

If you freehub from new was pretty quiet and over time get louder than yes, you could definitely use that as a service guideline.NhiTrac wrote:But is this required?

When most people replace the chain (assuming you are changing it at a reasonable service interval) is a pretty good time to service your freehub, jockey wheels, check the bottom bracket etc..

Coaster brake hubs - silent freewheel . Probably not really what you're after though
1.370" x 24 tpi - what sort of stupid standard is that?

Shimano hubs are quiet if that's your thing. I like loud as it's a semi good replacement of a bell on shared path.
