while i am not saying your wrong, that sounds strange...
you can't replace bearings in phil hubs with bearings as good as the orginials?
you got any evidence to back this up?
seals are for sissies anyhow... a well sealed hub is just gonna be slow. what you need to be tarck fast is loose ball unsealed bearings doused in sewing machine oil. just replace your hubs after every wet ride
