So I'm building up my first wheels, using the Phil Wood Road hubs that were original on my '97 Rivendell (I'm not the original owner, but these wheels are original).
I opened up the hubs to replace the bearings, and I noticed that the grease inside the hub was still green. 17 years later! Phil Wood means it when they tout their bulletproof, sealed hubs! I got new sealed bearings from my LBS and will build these hubs up to Velocity Synergy rims using DT Swiss Competition spokes. Looking forward to another 17 years (or more) on them!

Iowa is beginning its annual transition from the ice planet Hoth into the swamp planet Dagobah. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
