I've picked up three Phil hubs. They do not have a lot of miles and have seen absolutely no service except an occasional wipe with a rag. I did run into an issue with the (not Phil) QR that was very hard to get past a very stiff LowRider rack. Phil sent me a bolt-on axle. Swap was easy. And the bolt-on is the right tool for the job. (And a real step harder for someone to lift who isn't carrying an allen key. Also looks nice.) Any other hub and that wheel would not see that bike again and I would have to build another.
