    I dont need those, as just ordered/bought an eBike. Was tired of being passed on steep uphill by fat guys not breaking a sweat.
    I should post over in the New Bike thread.

    I should point out that the volume knob goes to 11.

    Nigel would be proud!

    OK, now that sounds way too specific to be an April Fools joke. :(

    Why not just have it go to 10 and have 10 be the loudest?

    But these go to 11!






    For those other than @Grego ...
    See the joke here is relative vs absolute scale. When a standard is... oh never mind

    Mine has 4 speeds. Eco, trail, turbo and off. Off it pedals like a regular bike but you can definitely feel the extra weight.

    Ive been using an approved silencer grease in my I-9s since the beginning. They are more quiet than an average hub and its remained so month after month.

    Loud hubs were great to warn hikers, loved them. then I got an awareness bell. Loud hubs are no longer needed and I enjoy the silence.

    I've used non-approved grease since the beginning with no engagement problems. On top of that, I removed 3 of the six pawls. My I9's are so quiet they absorb sound.
