The older or newer Phil's may be different. Apparently, when Phil started out they made their own free hubs and they are currently also doing the same after getting burned by Aerospoke going belly up. Yes, the freehub body in my vintage of the FSC hub are the Aerospoke freehubs. With these the only seal between the freehub and the hub is a plastic washer and a layer of grease which doesn't hold up well to a week of cross state riding in a lot of rain. They have also been very "fiddly" about the viscosity of grease in the hub. They tend to skip more frequently than I think that they should even with relatively thin (oil diluted) grease.
