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

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

Just put double springs in as they seat together nicely and can keep it well lubed, too.. makes it soo loud, as obvs the double springs push the pawls back twice as hard.

STEP 6: DON'T DO THIS IT WILL DESTROY YOUR HUBS

Real name of the video should be "The best way to ruin your mtb rear hub"

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

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.

Step six: never do this from the video.

Thank you for upload sir, you forgot step 6 never put on the music, let viewer listen to the sound of the HUBS. Thanks

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

No one do this the grease is there for a reason you will destroy the paws and whole hub

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

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

This is stupid, no grease in the hub? Better off buying a actual louder hub not destroying your current one...

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.

here's a trick. make a video about showing how loud the hub will be, but add music to it, so you can hear how loud the hub will be. k.

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!

Congratulations you just successfully decreased your hubs lifespan in half ❤️

This is an effective way to wear your hubs down quick

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

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.

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

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

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

this is so unesssary. It will break your hubs

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

The crazy thing is some people do this......a triumph of misguided vanity over mechanical common sense. Not sure why there was thick grease around the pawls in the first place.....don't 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"

You could put pieces of cardboard on your bike, flapping in your spokes when you ride, also makes cool sounds

He needs to re-list this video titled "The best way to destroy your hubs" ... Put them back together with 0 grease LUL! Hope hubs are already so loud, there is 0 reason to do this other than troll, plus you could weaken your springs by bending the metal.

This is the stupidest thing I have ever seen,dude your gonna need new hubs and everything, you just removed the lube,that's krazy😲

You must be a pro.. 😮.. Keep destroying your bikes.

you can put plastic cups on your tire to make it sound louder 😂

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

Stupid advice why would take grease out gonna wear faster

DIY = Destroy It Yourself 🤔

don’t do this the grease is in there for a reason

Cards in the spokes will simulate the sound you want!

Awesome way to destroy a quality hub!

Get rid of the Grease??.. R.I.P Hub.

you use thinner longer lasting hub oil to make it louder not strip the entire thing of life and increase drag with the leaf springs

Awesome! Like taking the oil out of the engine…yep, sounds different.

After complete, enjoy your premature hub replacement...

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

I’d like to do the opposite, silence my hub. How would I do that?

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

Extremely silence 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

2:51 you just destroyed your bearings by letting wd-40 iside them, wd-40 can melt rubber so all seals are trash here now

this vid should by named "how to break your hope hubs"

You forgot step 7 Buy a new wheel

Nice video no sound very good

So run the freehub dry lol

Why would you want louder hubs it's annoying to be loud. As a mechanic and engineer I wluldnt recommend wd40 or cleaning the grease away. A lighter grease and plenty of it will suppress the sound and prelomg the life of the hub. If you want loud hubs get some e13 hubs. There insainly loud !!!! Don't copy this video heh

Sounds great but good luck with warranty when they open it up and see no grease at all. That will wear out much faster now unfortunately

Why is there no sound ?

Yes and then watch as the cassette locks up and throws you 30ft, all the while breaking a few bones you can live without for a few months

dude, look at the cassete, theres too much friction from the spring 5:11 for the love of god please put a disclaimer

Where's the sound?

What a strange idea… remove the protection and lubricant from your contact surfaces…..

Einstein 🙈

Well no lube in that hub. You can kiss that bye bye. Wd40 is water based and evaporate within 24 hours

The Koozer chromoly cassette body and Koozer hub I have are made to be dry. They are extremely durable, my playground consists of a three foot steel ramp, walls, elevated walkways, stairs and pavement in the city

El video debería de llamarse "Todo lo que no debes de hacerle a una masa"

So.. Bend the springs to create more friction.. Remove all grease to create EVEN MORE friction.. then spray in WD40 to destroy the grease in the Hub bearings CREATING EVEN MORE FRICTION? Whilst probably spaying your disks creating a death trap.. I Really like My hubs.. thanks but no thanks

This should be called "how the wear tf out of your freehub"

Is this the bike equivelant of the "Riser-fart-can"?

Has anything happend since you bent the springs?

Don't do this because the engagement of your hub will definitely change.

Love hope stuff, but my personal experience is that the bearings are made of butter and the factory lubricant is such a small amount that the bearings have to be taken apart and greased properly before installing. Also making your hub louder will increase wear on your springs and pulls. Bending the springs like that could cause the spring's to snap and cause damage to the internals. But hey! Everyone has different options and preferences

they should have titled this HOW TO DESTROY YOUR VERY NICE AND EXPENSIVE HOPE PRO 4 HUB

I just purchased the ONYX Vesper hubs for total silence. I don't like noise.

If you want to destroy your hub follow the instructions in this video. Intact use WD-40 all over your entire bike. Squeaky brakes! Throw a little WD-40 on them!

Does hub work after 2 years? If I clean my son's bmx hub, how long should I expect it to be broken? drives daily

The thing is... why? Just for sound? It can become pretty annoying. And you forgot to re-apply the grease, I believe.

Removing grease and putting wd-40 in a Hope hub, you must be a bike mechanic! Amazing idea! Not!

Who gives a shit, especially when it's about riding and not mimicking angry bee 🐝 noises. Freewheel/Freehub noise is quite literally the most overrated, paid to, inconsequential bullshit within the bike industry. In NO way does ratchet noise indicate a god-damned thing, quality or otherwise. Grow up, sorry they do not offer glass-packs for bikes yet!!!

Lol! 😫 Just spotted this clip. WD40 where the WD stands for water displacer. Can't even tell if it's louder than it was before, it might be, likely irrelevant by now as that hub's probably fubar and in the bin anyway. 😬

Please someone tell me why anyone would want this loud annoying clicking sound, I found the video as I want to get rid of it on Red Metal Zero Fulcrum wheel with Fulcrum 20mm oversize axle 2 to 1 spokes hub?

🤣 it's just like saying how to make your car gears sound louder. And you drain the oil out of the gearbox. So there's NO lubrication so it's metal to metal. why would you want to do that lol. Grease and oil is for moving parts. So they last longer and sound quieter. You not supposed to do the opposite lol.

DO NOT DO THIS…. This is why RU-vid should have never got rid of the dislike count. Just use a very very thin oil and it’ll sound louder

How to make your wife's voice louder: Destroy your hub, then buy new full wheelset. This will make your wife make noise

3:05 brief but exciting music starts here. Clothes-pinning some playing cards to flap in your spokes is something all the cool kids did back in the early 1970's when I had a bike with a banana seat, sissy bar, and ape hanger handle bars. The girls had streamers hanging from their grips so you could tell it was a girl bike.

I am going into the 3rd week waiting for a delivery for a Shimano free hub for my 2020 Specialized Turbo Levo . They say in it shipping but can't say when it will arrive . Summer flying by and I can't ride. The number on mine is fh-mt510-b . Would any of the other models be compatible ? I need the 28 hole version.

Would someone care to give me some mountain bike components? I'd like to build a bicycle. Any feature of a mountain bike can be useful.

probably not a great idea......why do you think there's grease In there in the first place? think about it ill wait.

I advise everybody to DO NOT do this. He is setting you up for failure and it could end up being expensive to replace

Your hub has 40 internal teeth, so that’s why you get the “loud” high-pitch sound, and not because of bending the paw springs. 👎

as a mechanic i would NOT do this, these are wear parts they require grease for their longevity clearing that grease out is going to wear that free hub out in no time

R.I.P Ratchet's and Pawl's

Bruh this hurts to watch. I know let’s take the grease so the pauls ride against metal that will make it sound great. 😃

This is stupid. I guess the benefit is that the pawls will eventually self-destruct and send the guy with the annoying hub home early.

Ever hear of sound lmao 😂 😅🤣 sure would have been nice anyway good job on the visual

I am totally lost here. Why do you want the hub louder ? More importantly, why do you want the hub louder at the expense of destroying the hub ?

I hope no one actually shred this to their hub. Increased friction, no grease or oil and wd40 to mess up bearings.

Step one buy a hub that sounds like that from factory. Step two don’t take advice from this guy unless you want your hub to fail

Seriously this is one of the dumbest things I have ever seen! Making it louder by removing the grease? Hey I an idea, let's take out oil from your car engine, that should make it sound louder 🤪

Could also just stick some playing cards in your spokes or a soda can on your wheel! /s This is pretty dumb though.

This is so stupid, Hope is engineering hubs for decades and you just bend a sensitive part in this perfect system. You shouldn't recommend so silly ideas in the web. Just clean the hub and use light oil instead of grease and here you are.

And for a 'kernel' of truth: WD-40 will also get the popcorn things out of your teeth.

Clean the hub shortens the life of the hub Mainly you’re ruining your drive system

Hmmmmmmm no grease, I suppose so. You can also run your car with no oil, and it will be louder also.. For short time anyway I think the grease is to serve a purpose.

🤦 don’t Spray the diskbrake cleaner completly inside the hub
