I mean, it's not like they roll any better than Formulas, right? Right..?
Oops I missed your post.... sowwie about that.
They *do not* roll better than formulas but the placebo effect is strong. Want to know something crazy? You can buy the exact same cartridge bearings that comes with their hubs and press them into formulas for some serious not-phils.
I paid premium for quality and looks but mostly looks. If you're commuting to work everyday by bike, might as well look FABULOUS while you do it.
Protip: if you want your wheels to roll better, invest in better rubber, not hubs. OR for that combined placebo effect, phils & nice rubber.
