Much of the decision to buy certain hubs seem to hinge on the buyer's concern for exclusivity, looks and brand loyalty than anything else. The typical "Phils last forever" rhetoric doesn't really work in the context of $75 hubs sets that offer excellent bearings, durabilty and wear life.
With that said, I want some Phils or the new Zipp hubs. ;) http://businesscycles.com/graphics/thub-zipp2.jpg |
:rolleyes: Those are best looking hubs on the market IMO.
|
Those Gran Compe hubs seem nice... but I don't know about the price. I got some hi-flange Dura Ace's for $30 more. Oh well if they're looseball, they're not going to be ridden in the rain anyway :)
Those Zipp's are way gaudy. |
Theyre bike jewelry :)
|
yeah, i was just hoping to get a nice, sealed bearing hub because i like the reduced maintenance.
|
So get Miche, Formula, Gran Compe, or Phil Wood depending on your funds.

Can anyone recommend a high flange flip-flop sealed bearing track hub that has solid walls (as opposed to slats)? Does formula only make high flange with slats? Are the Surly hubs worth $75 for the rear? On a related note, does anyone really swear by Phil Woods? Is a rear hub really worth $200+?

OT---
I noticed last night that my front and rear hubs have developed some slight lateral play. Is this simple fix? |
To fix lateral play just tighten the cones down.
