About the noise. When I contacted Hadley, they sent me a small bottle of the lubricant they use in the freewheel. I can't remember its name but it is almost clear (not a grease) and when I cleaned out the old stuff and applied it my hubs went almost silent! Now anytime I start hearing clicking I clean them out (usually 3-6 months) a add the new stuff.

I: I can see why you would use a 15mm axle front hub with 20mm adapters for your testing and various bikes!

However, I would have mentioned if using a 20mm fork you're better off using the std 20mm front axle hub this would avoid the hassle of the spacers and fixing as they wear in and also be lighter than the 15mm axle and spacers combined! Plus the benefit of a stiffer front wheel for a 20mm fork dropout!

Totally agree with you on the 10mm rear axle for a 135 mm rear Hub its the way to go and of notable mention compared to the rest its Titanium and who doesn't like Ti light stiff and lasts forever! I have had too sets to date.

The free hub shell is also Titanium and that's another major factor over CKs std alloy and others not sure abut I9s, I know King offers a steel free hub shell, but when comparing quality and price its another step with Hadley's, you don't suffer cassette burring and its rust free just brillant.

As for the noise, I was supposed to have the 72 pt engagement, but ended up with 2 36t engagement hubs, not as quick to engage but still after 4yrs still running sweet, Ive just swapped out the rear bearings in one set for Enduro bearing another nice feature and you could replace them with Enduro ceramics, next time maybe, the cost was a factor, mine are drag free, as for the noise one set is like a Gatling gun the other more like the Kings but with a deeper throat, I wonder if its the amount of grease supplied in both as they are both the same hubs. 36pt may vary in noise to the 72pt, they actually come as 36pt and you purchase the 72pt engagement as an extra usually.

Anyway they are great hubs and my only go to choice as well, now I have to get a set 150×12 r and new 20mm front ta set built for the next future project! D.H.R…..
Plus i may have missed it there's a great range of Ano colors I have gold but black will be back on the menu, I'm still not sold on 15mm system lol.. My forks will remain 20mm even for my short travel projects in future, SS with Reba 20mm recovery bike and DWL Spot probably go 150mm Rev 20mm with maxle light.

Enjoy your reports as usual chur..

Under the radar is right…but solid product for a great price. Glad to hear you are liking yours!
