which hub is louder, ringle ABBAH or Hope pro2? I know the Hope is a better quality hub, but i have a ton of spring and pawl kits for the ringle. Just wanted to know which makes more noise? THANKS
Rear Hubs?

- Start date
i would say the the db spl on both is pretty close but the tonal quality is different
King.
Just get a cheap abbah on ebay, ride it till it breaks, fix it with your spare parts and when theres none left, buy a hope....
Hope pro 2 is louder.
I think so as well
Pro II hands down drowns out all the others listed in this thread.
The Ringle would be louder if the swearing and cursing that ensues when it inevitiably fails in the middle of a ride can be counted.
there is probably a reason you have, AND NEED, so many spare Ringle parts. I wouldn't run another one of those for free.

My buddy has a king rear hub on his bike and my ringle is WAY louder. I'm not sure between ringle and hope but if you want a loud clicker, go with the ringle. (very good to scare people with when riding urban)
Ringle is the loudest
but only 2 have been listed
Hehe.but only 2 have been listed
Ringle Abbah is not as loud as the Hope Pro II's. Close, but no.
I9's 
I9's are technically the loudest. Stock. If you want the steps for the noise modification they are as follows:
1) visit local machine shop
2) obtain metal filings/shavings
3) open freehub/pawl mechanism
4) insert metal filings/shavings
5) reassemble freehub/pawl mechanism
6) BRING DA NOIZE!

You can play poker when sitting around as well.
Or a beer can shoved between the frame and the back tire! My neighbor's kids do it all the time.

All you Hope fans are English right? because there isn't any other rational explanation I can uncover.
the hope is in my experience much higher quality than the ringles i work in a shop and have to rebuild and service both i've never owned a ringle but i seem to have to fix more of them than the hopes and the hopes are far more popular. There also reasonably priced on a you get what you pay for. I'm not a big fan of there brakes but there hubs are the best i've used. I'm not English either
I'm not say'n the louder the hub, the better the quality, i just like a loud hub. Too many non-bikers on muti-use trails, I like to let them know i'm coming(no, i wont put a bell on a DH bike) I know I'm gonna get flamed on this one, so to explain My DH bike is my multi-use bike, some of us can only afford one bike ya know
