Lets hear it, who all is riding them and what do they think? And if someone tells me to use the search function, I will most likely tell them to **** off. I also have one of these cogs, but dont plan on using it. But I would love to hear some reviews.

I'm riding them, and I can't tell a difference between a phil cog and a surly or a dura ace or whatever. But it sure is shiny.

and pretty. I think im gonna go "play" with my bike now.

I've had my 17t for about 6 weeks now.
Absolutley love it.
Beefiest cog I've ever seen yet as smooth and as quiet as can be.

It's a cog. It has the specified number of teeth, and the chain goes around it and makes the wheel go.

I like it.

Surly and Soma cogs are the worst, broken teeth are no fun.

I hated my Soma.
Ridiculously loud for some reason.

I've got lots of them.
I like them lots.
Though I haven't ridden any of them more than a few hundred miles, yet.
Ask again in a couple of months.

where the hell does everyone in SF and Oak-town get there money. Everyone has the nicest **** Phil this, brooks that, NJS everything. Are all just in dept or do you guys and gals just make mad bank.

so they do make a 17t? i thought so, but the folks at trackstar said no. got an EAI instead. no biggie though, im diggin the EAI.

duder, use the search function

17t indeed.
Trackstar was talking about of their ass.

I rode mine for the first time this past weekend at the track. Works just the same as the Dura Ace I previously had on there. It looks real nice with the Phil hubs.

The Phil cogs have a nicer, cleaner threading than anything else I've seen, including EAI's. This means they don't abrade your hub threading as much as other cogs, which is a good thing. They have a shape and a finish that are quiet as cogs go, which may not have practical value but is nice to have. And their stainless alloy means they don't develop little rust blooms in the rain the way an EAI cog does, but this is also of limited practical value -- an EAI cog is way too stout to be done in by superficial rust. The biggest issue, and the one that really justifies them to me, is the quality of the threading. Just read this forum for a while about cogs, and what's the number one complaint? It's about bad threading or stripped threads, right? If you have a cog that saves your hub, isn't that a major step forward?

The only problem with Phil cogs has been their spotty availability. For a while there were 16, 17 and 18 tooth cogs, then some 15's, now there are 14's but some of the earlier sizes are now in short supply. Each cog gets hand-polishing which may be limiting their production volume. Whatever, it's a very nice cog.

Speaking of which... I have a 19 I'd like to trade for a 17 if anyone has one...

i have an 18. as it's part of an entirely better drivetrain i can't distinguish how much better it is than my soma. I can say that it is way burlier than the 16t soma it replaced.

I am ready for some hill climbs :D

edit:Ialso got my cog from that stupid race.

i am looking for a 17 and a 15 if you have no need for yours....

you have one and weren't going to give it too me!?! **** you- you can't come up here anymore
:D

i'll take the 'debt' + the 'mad' in 'mad bank' and create my personal story of: mad debt :)

I have an 18t Phil cog on my new build and it's by far the nicest cog I've ever seen. You can just feel the precision.

I buy mine through my shop, so I can't really afford NOT to get the best.

does the phil wood cog come in 16t? lowest i found was 17.

Yeah, mine's a 16t. It's not all shiny and silver, though.
