Why are Hunt wheels so noisy?

They might be noisier than some other hubs but this is generally regarded as a sign of good engineering. This is the sound of positive engagement of the pawls in the hub shell. Each pawl is individually sprung using a strong leaf spring, which connects with one of the 45 ratchet points in the hub.

Are Sealed bearings better?

Sealed is better, requires less maintenance, and is overall better. It also has a rubber seal on it to keep dirt and water out. They are typically pressed into a hub or BB with a bearing press or rubber mallet or something else that won’t damage the bearings.

Are Hunt wheels open mold?

What I didn’t realise is that Hunt just uses open-mould so I guess you get the same things as “Chinese” brands and the price difference reflects the warranty they give you.
