My Phil rear hub is not the Rivy kind (wish it were because I love those cut-outs), but it now appears that this new IRD 7-spd freewheel (replacing the Sachs 6-spd freewheel) is going to work fine with no problems -- i.e., plenty of room back there for it in the 130mm spacing, and wheel can remain dishless. Thanks for input from all! -- Forrest
