Recommendation on quiet ratchet hub

[guido]

Greetings,

I am fairly new to wheelbuilding and want to build a set of wheels for my s.o. but she doesn't like loud ratchets (for instance the racket made by a friends Rolf wheels drive her crazy!)

They would be for training on old but not ridiculous pavement... I'm planning a pretty standard 32 hole 3x lacing and Mavic Open Pro rims.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a modest cost, 10 speed and quiet set of hubs?

Thanks!

Shimano 105 (5700) or Ultegra (6600 or 6700) all fit the bill.

My 7700 hubs are quieter coasting than my bike is when I'm pedaling. Seriously, they're awesome.

If the plan is to stay 10speed for a few years then do those. You can find NOS on ebay.

They're awesome for sneaking up to someone whole descending.

Yes. I like quiet hubs too and Shimano hubs are reliably quiet. 105 hubs are a great value. Campy branded hubs are quiet too if that's how you roll.

My SRAM hub sounds like this

^^ I would have shoveled extra sidewalks and driveways to have had that when I was 11.

Fifteen custom stickers !!!!!

Even $20,000 bikes don't come with custom stickers!

This is not true for either set of campy hubs I own.

Thanks for the input folks! Lots of great ideas. I just scored a nice deal on some 105 hubs.

What he said or 5800(when they are released) or 6800..11s, and even tho that isn't the 'answer', it's all going that way. Assuming the OP is shimano 10s, not Campagnolo 10s(in spite of the screen name). And yes, a shimano 10s cogset works great on an otherwise '11s' hub..just use the supplied with the hub, spacer for 10s.

And with a Morningstar tool, you can flush/inject Phil Tenacious Oil into the f/h - I can't hear mine ratchet....

Phil is WAY too thick for pawls... Maybe it doesn't get cold where you are, but if the temp drops.....good luck.

What, straight up oil? Or do they make an 0 or 00 grade grease? I want to try using some 00 grease from Valvoline if I can ever find someone that carries it. http://www.valvoline.com/products/co...cts/grease/128
