THE BEST WAY TO MAKE YOUR MTB HUB LOUDER!! (HOPE)

This video is a full tutorial, Showing you how to make your hope pro 4 hub extremely loud.
Making your hub louder will make your hub wear faster. I would advise keeping a small layer of grease around your pulls.

I heard you can make your car louder by draining all the engine oil😅

Sound is friction. To maximize noise on my track bike, I simply poured beach sand into my hub. I estimate this added around 1.3hp to my crank as well.

Couldn't you just tape playing cards to rub against the spokes?

Wd-40 will destroy the bearings grease. When you put it inside the hub, it will go to the bearings.

this should be called: "How to destroy your hub the fastest way possible."

Spraying WD-40 into your freehub (so the part of the freehub at the wheel) is a pretty bad idea. The WD-40 will get into the bearings of your wheel and obviously degrease them which will lead to a failur of the bearing. Also installing you freehub without any grease is a pretty bad idea

Had mine like this for over a year and it's been perfect....some people just are clueless.

No way! Hope hubs are already loud enough. Why destroy a good quality hub? I would not recommend bending those pawl springs. If you want it louder use sram butter or somewhat lighter grease!

[mateobriones]

PLEASE NOBODY DO THIS. The creator does not know what he is talking about. Yes it would make your hubs louder but this is because when you remove the grease, the pawls hit into the hubs teeth directly with nothing in between them. What this means is that you will reduce the life of your hubs significantly. Removing the grease could void the warranty as well. If you just leave the grease in there it will sound the same but will last longer. The sound does not improve your performance. Instead save your money and get a better hub with higher points of engagement. This way you could even sell your old hubs and save a lot of money. If you follow the videos instructions, you will be left with a ruined hub and be put in a position where you NEED to replace it. Since you were not prepared for this, you could be having to take money you didn't want to spend, leaving you with a lower budget and worse hubs than the ones you began with.

This is an effective way to wear your hubs down quick

Majority of Filipino "Bikers" would love this. lol. Hub noise > Skills/Discipline

[davidfw]

So basically your are reducing spring and pawls life and also adding more drag just for a louder hub... brilliant
The grease is there to protect the hub bearings too.

The grease's only job was to balance the color of that neon green gasket anyway

I work in a bike shop and I can guarantee we don’t do anything like this especially spraying WD-40 near disk brakes. You spraying that near the rotor gave me severe anxiety

[JMZproductions_torio]

Congratulations you just successfully decreased your hubs lifespan in half ❤️

[dynamoshark]

Tried this on my I9 hydra. I bent the leaf springs and man what a difference. I cleaned most of the grease but left some in. Wouldn’t personally recommend using WD40 as lubricant

[radunit]

putting it all back together. with no grease. welp nice way to wear down your pawls and destroy your freehubs.

[hoogerbooger]

The crazy thing is some people do triumph of misguided vanity over mechanical common sense. Not sure why there was thick grease around the pawls in the first do that either unless the manufacturer specifically says. Usually a small amount of oil. I use a runny semi- fluid grease to deaden the noise....partly as I don't want to sound like these " wallies"

[endremajos]

dont use grease, cause the clickets will stick down a bit, but some quality wet chain lube is necesary

This should be titled "The best way to take 90% of the life from your free hub" Thank you
