Mavic Ksyrium Equipe wheels

I have no idea if this is true, but one of the race team members told me that the more expensive the hub the more noise it makes.

That's been the trend I've noticed too. The hub on my CX bike is noisier than the bottom-end one on my roadie, and the newer Mavics are quite a bit louder than those. BF's Mavics really aren't a comparison, since they're old and technology marches on.

My DH has had 2 sets of wheels that buzzed like crazy. I know exactly what you are talking about. It drove both of us crazy and he stopped using them.
