Phil says, "spring is here"!
 

hot hot hot!

no disrespect to phil, but purple is one color that I wish never existed.

I need them for my Soma!

If thats spring, i dont wanna go

I smell another Phil flamewar in.. 3.. 2.. 1.

the 90's are over for a reason

color coding your bike needs to die

paging dannyrocks.
who a few weeks ago when we were in cambridge bikes looked at some pink deep v's and said "why are no components ever made in purple?"

Yes. It's all about colored rims now.

Colour...
 

Fuchsia! :D

they did areally bad job photoshopping that pic

Yeah, they really did... real bad

Stick it out for the summer collection, I hear they're doing them in that auto paint that changes color if you look at it from different angles. Rumors of hypercolor in '08 have not yet been confirmed or denied.

needs some green and orange splatter, a la THE FRESH PRINCE OF BEL-AIRE.

that is all.

What they need is a paint/anodizing color that changes color with its speed. At rest they are red, but as you go faster they travel through the ROYGBIV until they hit ultra-violet at 30 mph. Black lights at the track, yes.

I like my blue better. Hmpfh.

I've got phils on my nice bike, on my daily bike I have a Miche and a Surly. The surly is tough, but nothing tremendous. The Phil's look nice and roll decently. Honestly though, the Miche hub rolls smoother, better and cost 1/2 the price of the Phil. I don't know about a rear miche, but for dollar and cents, Miche is a better deal. This is side by side equal use comparison. Even funnier, the Miche is on a 36 spoke wheel, the Phil is a 32 hole, and the Miche still rolls better.

Phils: nice, but, really, not worth the $$$.

I'm sure that violates everyone's sense of what's right and decent in the world, but it's an honest opinion.

Phils arent better than anything or worse than anything. A hub is only as good as the bearings in it and any hub maker can choose the same bearings that Phil uses (or better than). Therefore, any hub has the potential to roll as smoothly as a Phil and doesnt even have to be such an ugly design.
The lock ring threads, lockring and also the axle...that may be solid nice stuff the phil has over other hubs.

Just curious, if you're not "color coding", what is the alternative?

I like girly-colored things on my bicycles because it's so dumb that it's awesome because it's ironic.

They're worth whatever people pay for them, I guess? I know that I agree with you, I don't think I could justify spending that much on a hub.

I love when generally agreeable, non-controversial opinions get
the "Hey, I'm just stating my opinion! Don't kill the messenger!"

Not nearly bright enough ... needs more glam.

i just barfed all over my shoes

they are ruined
