Phil Wood hubs may be superior but in ways that are completely beyond necessity. I could afford Phils if I wanted them, but considering I could by 5-6 pairs of other hubs for the cost of a single pair of Phil Woods that will do the exact same job, there is simply no way to justify the cost from a performance standpoint.
Good job.
Nobody puts phil wood hubs on their bike for performance. The hubs weigh a ton and the bearings are rolling through molasses. You know why I put phils on mine?
1) Custom drilling + slotted
2) 14h radial front/16h rear left side radial with no chance of flanges breaking as depicted in photo.
You keep thinking and telling people that formula and surly's are the same as phil wood and i'll keep telling people why you post ******** nonsense like that on this forum. They are *not* the same regardless of whether _you_ think they're worth it or not.
