Replacing Freehub
I have to replace my freehub and I was wondering what one I should get?
Its a specialized Rockhopper bike.
What are the Freehubs that click loud? Is there any advantage to those over others?
Do higher priced ones really make a difference?
Thanks in advance.

Usually a load freehub indicates the number of engagement points and the number of pawls.
The higher the number of pawls theoretically means a quicker engagement from a coasting or dead stop.
You'll be limited to what is compatible with your hub. I've always been pretty happy with Shimano freehubs. They work. I put them on, and I don't have to worry about them.
