may i ask why does one need to know there back hub is still there?? did u have some sort of accident where you were riding and next thing you know you were a few miles down the road and your missing your rear hub?? never happened to me, but never hurt to ask.

I wouldnt go as far as to say loud hubs are any better. They are really both the same. I just like hearing my hub click for some reason.

what are the PRO's to a loud hub VS a quiet hub? other then knowing at all times your hub is still in place?

loud hubs are only good for letting hikers know to get the hell out of the way... otherwise theyre just annoying. quiet hubs are nice, but i like a medium hub loudness (azonic outlaw hubs are perfect)

Quiet, I'd have a complete silent hub any day over a loud one. Just feels smoother for me.
