Those with Richmond gears... How much noise do your Richmond gears make? I just got my 4.10's in, and they have a slight whine. Not bad, but I just want to make sure this is normal. My buddy has the same whine with his, and everything I've read says the Richmond's do make some noise, but they are the strongest gear. So how do yours sound?

I have a Strange 12 bolt now, and whatever gears are in there (anyone know?) it is louder than the Richmonds. I miss my Richmonds.

Yup, that's about where mine is the worst. I went with the Richmonds simply because everyone said they are the strongest. I don't mind some noise because I'll do anything to keep this 10 bolt from dying on me since I don't have the cash for a 12 bolt.

Still he charged me a whole $150 bucks.

One thing I was thinking though is that there are two different sets of Richmond's. There is the good USA-made set, and then another cheap set. I don't know if some people that have quiet Richmond's might actually have the cheaper set. Just some food for thought.
