Fear the Hornet for transmission components

This suction cup is very noisy which is great. Put it on my commuter bike and people will hear it coming and get out of the way. Would buy again.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Some bugs

I am very happy with this purchase!

It's loud but it's what I was looking for! I love it, my BMX friends love the sound too! It fits perfectly on my Skyway Mag Wheels!

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • 0

Good ratchet - gets louder

Great ratchet, I bought this flywheel to replace the stock one mainly to have a LOUDER ratchet. This is useful when you're at the beach, and it's loud enough that people can hear you if you come up behind them and they'll know you're coming.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Nothing

They will hear you coming from both sides.

The Hornet Origin8 freewheel is the perfect solution when value for money is a must! This is my second bike on both bikes and I love that it's not exactly the same! ๐Ÿ ๐Ÿ ๐Ÿ it really sounds like a hornet's nest when you're on duty trying to avoid approaching people while driving.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Quick start guide

Agree with Brian S.

Bought because Shimano MX30 didn't fit me. I decided to try this with a KMC K810SL 3/32" single speed chain. IMPRESSIVE! Great combo with these two! My 1987 Trek 560 has never ridden or sounded this good! This freehub is so loud! I thought Chris King Freewheels were loud, these are CK beats!Lots of love for Origin8!

Pros
  • Dope ๐Ÿ”ฅ
Cons
  • Dear

Great free ride. in sports

This thing is reliable. It runs smoothly and feels great. I put this on my BMX Racing Cruiser and the gate grip has been amazing. This way you can really put your feet where you want as it has so many touch points. Feels better than my cassette hub on my 20" road bike. However, resistance is felt when coasting. I pedaled pretty much the entire route so this isn't an issue and will probably be less noticeable once I break in.

Pros
  • It's amazing
Cons
  • Commercial availability

Disappointing quality :(

For around $50 for a ratchet you can expect top quality. Well it's basically a poorly made FW with a lot of hook points making it a "cool" sound that will appeal to some people (younger ones I guess).The feel of this FW is terrible however, when you turn the handle you can feel the pawls don't even engage all at once due to poor manufacturing tolerance.The however internal friction is really too high This may be due to the preservative oil used in its manufacture Finally, and the biggestโ€ฆ

Pros
  • It's ok!
Cons
  • Good but not great
