Why Are BMX Hubs So Loud? A Look at the Engineering Behind Noisy Bicycle Hubs
BMX hubs are known for being extremely loud when coasting. The loud clicking or buzzing noise is a signature sound of BMX bikes that riders have come to expect. But why exactly are BMX hubs so much noisier than other bicycle hubs? The reason lies in the internal design and engineering of BMX hubs. While they may look simple from the outside, inside a BMX hub contains precision parts and mechanics that generate the loud freewheeling noise. Understanding the Role …
