I've been looking round at wheel upgrades for my Bianchi which is currently running on Fulcrum Racing 5's. The freehub is not too noisy but is far from silent..... The original Giant wheels on my Giant Defy (winter bike) are virtually silent but are clearly a cheap wheel.
I've looked at Hunt, Mavic, Campagnolo and Fulcrum wheels and they all seem to have a louder freehub noise in varying degrees.
I do like a quiet freehub but is it a case that the better quality ones are by nature noisier? Is it better to just keep pedalling and enjoy the silence or put up with a bit of noise when freewheeling?!!
