The bearings in Formula hubs seem like total butter to me. I really can't imagine that Phils would spin any smoother. They will give your bike that extra bit of pimp factor though, to be sure.
While we're on the topic, does anyone think it's worth my while to reinstall my track cog and grease the threads, or should I just leave it, 'what's done is done'? I didn't use any grease when I put it on a month or two ago. If there's an increasing chance that it could cease onto the hub the longer I ride it then I'll definitely wanna grease the sucker.
