Having the S.O.B. (swarm of bees) I 9 hub, I get comments on the noise it makes. Not a problem, except that the noise is picked up whenever I record my rides using my chin mounted GoPro 9. Of course, it happens only when I coast. Will try the grease technique, thank you for the video.
Curious if you seen pawls ratchet failed, I'm split between novatec as prime hubs are nice but not see them available but to splash out more for dt swiss 240 exp
Yes. This very hub failed. I9 and the bike shop found that it was the pawls seating location in the freehub. I9 sent two Freehubs to cover the warranty, but something still seems off. I hear that lots of Hydra hub users have cracked the splined ring inside the hub, so that may be what is happening
Extremely poor bearing life, cracking drive rings, terrible tiny pawl springs that eject if you full the freehub off too hard and the end caps get loose after they’ve been removed a few time. Poor show for such an expensive hub.

"nice and quiet", oh hell nah, give me that oil back! 😉😄
I pick mine up my set tomorrow 😎 nice to know I’ll be buzzing after a few rides
I like the buzzing sound of the hub. My hardtail canon dale is quite and it bugs me
Nice Serpentine rims btw!
Loving them so far! Gotta shoot a review of those really soon too.
Someone Needs to market used hub grease now
Bwahahahha!!!! 😂

I always liked the loud hubs. My white industry freewheel has a nice smooth buzz. How easy was it to regrease that hub?
PITA on my Torch hub. Always end up fishing for my pawls!!😡😅
May I ask how long before the silence is broken? Really liking the almost complete silence on the i9
2-4 months on average here, but depends on the weather and how much riding is done in that period of time too
@@RideAlongside good to hear, thanks!

It sounded exactly like Hassns, still cool tho.
You need to try some phil wood tenacious oil. It lasts a lot longer too.
I have used Phil Wood oil in the past. It’s a little too thick and sticky
I just got these hubs and it's way too loud. I'm getting this grease.
Glad to help! Mine just got really loud again too. Time for more grease!!
@@RideAlongside I packed it with grease and it's nearly silent when I ride. Almost like an onyx, lol. Crazy how quiet it got.
My soft tail trance X sounds so noisey ! It’s nice but I’m worried about the hub health over all. Do you recommend the grease ??
Grease or Dumonde Tech Freehub oil.

What does it sound like bone dry?😂😂😂

I’ve had a couple of these experiences already too. :(
is there specific technical reason why people buy this horrible sound hubs or they just like to suffer?
