Are Shimano 105 hubs good?
Shimano 105 5800 hubs are an excellent choice for those wanting easy home maintenance. We can fill them with 100% synthetic grease which repels water but still allows them to spin reasonably well.

Are louder bike hubs better?
In many cases, a louder hub signifies faster engagement, which is part of the reason that those extra decibels are desirable.
Are louder MTB hubs better?
More Pawls + More Engagement Points = More Noise A greater number of pawls in combination with more engagement points results in more movement and consequently noise. And since more pawls and engagement points equal greater pedaling efficiency, more expensive hubs offer more of those and sound louder as a result.
Can I put an 11 speed cassette on a 9 speed hub road bike?
An 11-speed cassette will fit on a 9-speed hub only when the hub is wide enough. Luckily, 8,9,10 and 11-speed mountain bike hubs have the same spacing, and one can therefore use an 11-speed cassette on all of them.
How often should you service Shimano hubs?
For most hubs and riders once a year is probably good, but you’ll get to know how often they need work after a while. No one here can tell you any more than that. Yup. Once a year for some folks is 1500 miles, and for others it is 10,000 miles.
