halo DJD are quite loud
iv got a djd they are prity loud but as soon as you but wd40 in it ya cant hear it, not as loud as a hope pro 2 or bulb

WFT!?! Why would you ever put WD40 in a hub??? And if you did, it would be louder because it's a degreaser.

wd 40 is not a degreaser, it simply dissolves rust, displaces water and combines with grease so it does lessin its effects, but it is still a lubricant

no, wd-40 is a solvent, not a lubricant.

my hope pro 2 SS is by far the loudest I've heard in person, trumping King and I-9.

it is a chemical process that dissolves rust, it was developed for the veitnam war to keep the weapons dry and rust free, it is silicon based and acts like a lubricant, varsol is a solvent water displacement 40 is not

In correct Dont believe every thing you wikki. wd-40 is mainly 2 parts. kerosene and mineral oil. The kerosene acts as a detergent until it evaporates leaving the mineral oil behind. It was invented on Vandenberg Air Force Base in the early 50s. It was made to help keep the Atlas missiles from rusting. But was horrible for small caliber weapons. Wd stands for water displacement and the 40 was the location of the Atlas missiles that's not commonly known ether. If you dont believe me you can google vandenberg air force base wd-40

New pawls are much cheaper than a new hub.


Loud hubs are overrated. They don't make your dick bigger no matter what you think.

but I mean I think we gotta talk about a bit of performance aswell.
Some loud hubs are usually that way because they have less drive notches.
