@quixoticgeek@social.v.st you can now buy an after market thingy to fix it. The fact it's being marketed as a 'watt saver' and is eye wateringly expensive says a lot about the kind of people it's aimed at. https://escapecollective.com/review-wrp-zero-drag-kit-a-silent-upgrade-for-dt-swiss-hubs/ Real question though: do you have recommendations for wheel brands know for relatively silent freehubs? Mine is pretty loud, not my choice, the wheels came with the bike, and I'm probably not swapping them out soon, but one day maybe.

    @cloudedjudge@hachyderm.io I have a Shimano xt dh-m8000 rear hub laced onto H+Son Archetype rims, it's beautifully quiet. Just the slightest tick to tell you it's working. The rims are bomb proof. I have the Dh-T8000 dynamo hub on the front with the same rim. 30000+km on them, zero regrets.
