I'm going to be buying some new wheels . . . and I was considering White or Phil hubs. I've downloaded the White hub service manual . . .and it appears rather simple. Have you taken it apart and had problems? I'd like to know so you may save me from buying them

I've used hubs with cup and cones (CC), and with Cartridge. Vintage Campy hubs will last forever . . . and I've never had a problem with the races. Shimano was another story . . .I had some 105 hubs for the early 90's that lasted about a year before pitting badly. . . . and I'm a qualified mechanic who takes care of stuff. Pissed me off to Shimano . My vintage Stumpjumper has Specialized cartdrige bearing hubs . . . and they will last forever. This bike is from 1983. I have multiple sets of cartridge hubs . . . no problems . . . . .needless to say . . .I'm sold on cartridge bearing hubs. Going back to CC would be a big step backwards for me. There's not alot of choices though in 135mm hubs. . . either it's cheap Shimano or $$$ ones. It was so much easier just buying Phil FW hubs . . . but the bike I'm building would do better with a cassette hub because of limited chainring fitting.
