Chris King rear hub whines loudly
I'm used to the typical clicking from the rear hub when coasting. I started riding a recent build with CK rear hub and was surprised at the sound. I high pitched whine (like a flock of angry Minnesota mosquitos). Anybody else confirm this to be normal CK behavior?

Check out the Chris King website. The characteristic is so well known they actually sell an "angry bees" t-shirt.
