It will become loud overtime as the grease comes out, if you want, its not very good for the hub, but try cleaning it out an putting triflow in there, you can get that at your local bike shop too! AND it wWill be VERY LOUD, HOWEVER I do not suggest you do this, I suggest you go get some yellow lithium grease and put alot of that in it, then it will purr instead of click, and that sounds MUCH better.Wink Also a hub WILL NOT alert somebody to you coming down the path! it is not loud enough no hubs are, the wind and the forest an all that stuff will absorb the sound, do the card trick, it will sound like a motorbike coming down the trail. Or use a water bottle, and stick that in your seatstay yoke!2 cents

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.

Well maby its the other way around, I ride on donwhill tracks and other walkers and people have a geez around and stand in the middle of the track or walk the dogs and sometimes i cant see them.

iam pretty sure you just want a load hub because there sick... not because of people and horses... and like everybody said yelling will help, not around every corner or every jump or drop.

To my knowledge, the 2 loudest I have come acroo is, enduro i9, which sounds like shit, and a DT HugI with no grease, those actually are f*cking crazy.

Springs, perhaps? You can bend the springs to make them push harder against the pawls, snapping them back against the driver with authority.

Authority and chipped pawls, that is.
