I just bought a new Hope Pro 2 Hub, I need a loud hub to get dogwalkers out of the way, how do u make a hub as loud as possible, I havent laced it yet.

Just lace it up and give it a few months to fully break in. If that doesn't work than try to put a lighter oil inside.

Yes it sounds cool, thats why I want one, but also I really need something loud to get idiots off the track, I dont want a bell because its not easy to ring a bell when ur ripping on a track, its much better to just have a loud bike so where ever people are they will get out of the way, sometimes u dont know they're there.

Just yell at them, it works for me.
If they're on a dedicated or obvious trail a loud "RIDER! F*#KIN SHIFT!" usually works.

yeah, no kidding, loud hubs are fun and all, but the volume of sound put out from them is not much. By the time they hear it, youll have rammed your stem up someones....well you get the idea. Especially if you're clippin down the trail pretty good

you realized that you wouldnt be able to hear a loud hub up ahead of you? It wouldnt do anything. And if these trails are for people that walk as you say..you shouldnt be "ripping" down them. Thats when the mountain bike scene gets a negative vibe. So we can solve your problem by just not doing it.
