Can you (or someone else) explain why this is so? I thought the whole point of the cassette hub design was greater strength because the axle is supported by bearings further out to the right. So what makes this fw hub stronger even than the Phil fw hub? I must admit that I am skeptical of this 3-person claim, but I am open to enlightenment. (Ommmmm ....) As to Phil track hubs, I learned today that the bearings on my 2Xf fixed Phil are fine after almost 11K miles: the roughness was the not-fully-tightened spacer.
