Nexus Hubs...even a Brand new one...
will ALWAYS Click...Click..Click..Click..
when in Second and Third.

It sounds like your coasting on a B.M.X.
I was told that's a Normal Noise.

This may be what your talking about.
peace,
Kev.

Oh your talking about a nexus? I cant afford them ones, Lol my coaster brake hubs clicking, Can't be good huh, ITS RIDABLE!! So its fine in my book.

I'm pretty sure all internal geared hubs click. I've got both Shimano and S/A and they do.

If it's a single speed coaster brake then yes something must be wrong.

 

[ricksterr1221]

Probably from doing them 60 foot+ skids!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My Nexus 4 speed hub with the drum brake is silent...riding and coasting.

It's pretty sweet that way.

I don't remember my nexus 7 making any noise, and my sachs/sram 5 is silent and it doesn't shift into first or fifth any more. Maybe being grease packed makes them quiet.

buzzy, what hub do you have?

so you have a nexus hub? yes they do make noise the 4 speeds are rather quiet but the 7 and 8 speed hubs do make the click click sound. now then if you are feeling something in the pedals that is not good i would check to see if the hub is tight. these hubs are touchy they work very well but if adjusted wrong then ridden for a long time that way they will be toast. note to all the new 8 speed is really touchy and i dont like it at all.

hehe timming is everything guesed i picked a good time to get around and fix the computer. anyways some noise is to be expected from internaly geared hubs. the one in the 7 has close to 3000 miles on it and still works great.
