    Humm......my campy stuff is pretty quiet today. Can't hear a peep from it either. Maybe I was going too slow....I was climbing at most 8 or 9 miles an hour.

    But if it's loud I won't need to buy a bell.:lol:

    It's when you're freewheeling when it is loud, not when you're engaged and climbing (from my experience -- my bud Dave that rides Tom Boonen's old Time TT bike sounds like a car wreck as he approaches when not pedaling...). Maybe Neil knows how to calm that beast, eh? ;)

    Lookin' good. Standing up and powering up a hill is fun but I tend to only enjoy the first 50', then my legs say, just spin 'er up. ;)


    I will have a listen to mine on this mornings ride but a den of crickets is not loud like a ratchet spinning backwards but more of that high pitched chirping. I kinda like it, if it was too quiet I would get worried. :beer:
