    I have just fitted a set of wheels with a Hope mono rear hub. The first thing I have noticed is that the freewheel is really loud compared to the old Shimano wheels I had on before. I have been told it is normal for this type of hub. Has anyone out there got the same hub? Is this normal?

    It’s normal for Hope hubs. A few drops of oil into the pawls will quieten it down for a while.

    Used it to your advantage a freewheel when heading towards people, soon gets there attention.
