I can't picture what you smoothed. Brake shoes? Glad it worked.

@ scottlee, thanks for bringing this thread back from the dead!
Interesting topic, I have a couple of cheap China hubs that are noisy when coasting.

That's it exactly! I did a pretty sloppy job of grinding mine down but it took care of the issue. Brakes also continue to work as well.

Thanks. I will check that. I have also read where someone found tool mark's or ridges on the i.d. of the hub that can cause noise.
