I too have a Bullseye Hub set. I find them substantial in design and just as functional
as the Original type Phil Hub [steel tube,alloy flanges bearing assembly pressed into the tube.]
a hub I used on tours for over a Decade.
with the Bullseye added benefit of the service tool , to replace the bearing cartridges
is 1 tiny allen wrench for the set screws .
I replaced my bearings with Enduro type which is an all Ball no spacer , QBP stocks some .
Rodger D used a highspeed bearing with a spacer separating, less bearings.
My touring wheels have been 48-40 spoke pairs , a broken spoke only occurred once
[thanks to 'dork' discs protection]
And that one I only needed a 10 minute job of wheel re truing and rode on with the other 47 spokes, for days ..
before I made friends with someone with a BF adjustable spanner ,
and use it to unscrew the freewheel removal tool, I Brought with Me. .
that tour was a loop from AMS to Calais-Dover through UK to Newcastle ferry Norway, Dk, to PL Warsaw, CZ Prague
Austria Bavaria, Strasbourg France, Luxembourg, Belgium Again, and back to NL to Fly back to SFO.
freewheels I used Sachs ARIS, Shimano interchangeably , they use the same Spline tool.
13-32 or 34, 6 0r 7speed, using friction bar end shifters either are OK.
