You got 108 because its between 107 and 109 and you for some reason wanted 108!
Loud Hubs anyone?

i'll check it again, i insist!!!:biggrin:
I thought we went over that...its simply the # of clicks you can feel when rotating the body 360...that # lets say 72 will tell u basically the angle of each engagement...which is basically the quotient of both...in this case the angle would be 5 degrees...if i'm not mistaken that is
it goes by the angle offset on the pawls and the number of ratchet/pawl slots in your hub body.
I'll occasionally notice the sound of my I9's in the air. They're moderately loud, started silent but broke in a little.
As mentioned before it's the number of clicks, has nothing to do with pawls. I9's have 60 grooves/slots in the hub body and 6 pawls, in sets of 3 offset by I'm going to guess 3 degrees, hence allowing 120 pts of engagement. There was a real neat picture of a chrisking cut open from interbike and you could see its locking mechanism. Its the equivalent of having 1 pawl for every slot, yet is rated to only 50 ft/lbs of torque more than an I9.

**** man they arn't my wheels!
can u use oil instead of grease in a hub to make it louder?
No, it will make it more quiet.... Think man!
If you want it quieter, take the grease out.
wait up...how do you get to 120...
