How do I quieten my Scribe Wheels?
Most love the buzz but while we understand Scribe hub's may be noisier than others. This is actually recognised as a sign of positive engagement. However, everyone in the Scribe Collective is different. So, if you're interested in dampening our freehub buzz, the tone can be muted by applying some of our exclusive MV1 Ratchet Grease
