No doubt, Phil hubs are awesome. That being said, I have Paul hubs on my Karate Monkey and they are pretty awesome as well. I beat the crap out of them in the dirt. I don't think you could go wrong with either.

i got my paul (rear only) on ebay for 40 bucks brand new, and i love it.
super clean machining, super smooth bearings, and like someone said, a super burly lockring.
i like the hollow axle and allen key design as well. very well thought out.
its a coin toss though. i've seen the phils and am VERY impressed.
but i couldnt pass up a 40 awesome hub.

Yeehaw! I just now bought this set at a decent price: https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWA:IT&ih=024
Now... which spokes are best for a big 230lb guy like me? I heard straight gauged can be stronger than double butted. Is that wrong? I want bombproof. What brand and size spoke is "the best" for my new Phils? Thanks you guys.
