Just got back from the coldest ride of the year thus far, -26C without windchill (I mention the cold as it is troublesome for many different brands of rear hubs), and it looks like the Phil Wood pawls have finally stopped skipping. I disassembled the whole ratchet mechanism and degreased it, then gave it a small amount of TriFlow - just enough to give a thin coating. Now the freewheel has a quiet but pleasant sound (before it was basically silent) and has a reassuring, positive engagement every time. Hopefully this will be the trick that lasts the winter.
