I think the brand is universally known for the quality of the product and the prestige that is, less known is the unmistakable sound it emits.
Well, let's start from here not want to talk about watches, but more specifically, hubs and rear hubs.
"A good hub should sing like a Patek"
are seriously ill, I can not use a hub silent, the more sound the more I feel happy and tonic, produces in me a good soothing effect.
Shitmano produces excellent series DuraAce and XTR hubs and this since the early nineties (the M600 XTR of 92 was beautiful), but they are unusable as they are silent.
I be notified of
with Hugi, the Swiss brand (even if on purpose) that later became the noiseless DT, I went to the Tune, for the King and ultimately I came to Hope Pro II.
Do not forget the series of Campy Record, true reference when it comes to music, I also had a GT-Hadley who had a stamp excellent and what about the Ringli currently still on the market (ehh Ghid !!!).
forgot there was a series of White Industries TI (94 approx) that sounded very clear as well as their Italian rivals PMP (I had a couple that after they reviewed did not sound more).
interesting to note that manufacturers evolve their products do not always maintained the same sound (a sound hub needs to be done in a workmanlike manner) and also the maintenance of the hub affects the sound.
Another record is that you have an amplified sound with some boxes, such as boxes that amplify the most are the XTR M950 8v TI.
An anecdote: in the early nineties the Hugi were not sold in Italy, but they were widely used in Germany (now on version 6 / 7 v), the Upper Garda was on a downhill very fast and I hear in the distance a hub "bestial "at the bottom of the hill I stopped to see who he was and after a while 'comes this German with a Hugi 7v felt that at least 2 km away, that was my inspiration.
