Many folks with other freehubs don't need to holler "on your left"
when rolling downhill because you can hear the GRRRR.


It's amazing how loud some freehubs are. It's like rattling a playing
card against the spokes, like we did as kids to pretend we were on
motorcycles. A card and a clothespin, vroom!


Dude, having a freehub that sounds like a swarm of angry bees is a status symbol. You pair that with deep dish aero wheels that give off a low rumble, and you're set. Totally dope.

I'll promise I will not use this bike for group rides ;-)
