You are very welcome. I too was tempted to stick the 130 symmetrical on a support and hit the left side of the spindle with a hammer, but I'm glad I waited the 10 days or so required to get the thing back to Phil, adjusted, and back to me.
FWIW, I've got 13100 miles on one Phil, almost 11K on another -- these are the lightweight ti spindle ones, and neither removed from their respective frames since initial installment -- and both are still smooth. I think that, if I were doing a global trek, I'd choose a SKF, but otherwise, I have no qualms about Phil bb assemblies or hubs.
