BenLeacock™ Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 (edited) Nope, my mono didn't make much noise! Edited March 3, 2009 by BenLeacock™ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 If you span the mono twice as fast as the pro2 they might sound a bit more similar, stretch the springs on the mono and they get a bit more similar again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muel Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Try cleaning it out, 07 and Tarty Pro2s used oil instead of grease. (I think, not certain though.)I've got a silver Tarty one, it's as loud as f**k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psycholist Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Opening Pro 2's is pretty much the easiest thing ever. Take wheel out of frame. Pull end cap off the drive side axle (It's held in place by an o-ring inside the end cap that fits into a groove in the axle, so it might need a bit of leverage to get it moving initially. Grab the freehub body and while turning it in the freewheeling direction, slowly pull it off the end of the axle... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
