As above, i have a rim (Mavic 321) ready and waitng for a hub.

I like that clicky sound!

There is a black Hope XC hub for £75 or Pro2 at £120

What other reliable/noisy hub?

Royce, so distinguished and sooooo loud, not so much of a light "click" but a reassuring "cluck"

Sun Ringle Disc Jockey is another one, really smooth and very loud.

my king hub isnt anywhere near as loud as the proII's - more of a angry buzz than a click. DMR revolvers are loudish too.

Ok all these are loud, are they reliable and easily serviced?

Hope everytime for me, dead reliable and a great backup from them too.
Pro 2 to future proof yourself as they can be adapted to the many new axle std's available, XC if you just want a dead reliable QR wheel & your not worried about selling it 2nd hand price later (IIRC ppl believe them to be more reliable with better sealing than the Pro2)

Industry 9 make a fantastic buzzing sound

Unlike an annoying hope clatter

I have the latest Nuke Proof hubs and they are brilliant and sooo easy to maintain.

DMR revolver hubs not great, the freehub's are made of cheese, but they are cheap.
