Phil Wood track hubs
These beautiful hubs arrived this week for a customer’s restoration-fixie project:
The quality of these hubs is exceptional; the lockring and cog threads are precision cut, the bearings are US-made, and the polished finish is almost like chrome.
Phil offer about a thousand different variations of their hubs including low- or high-flange, a multitude of widths, and of course a wide range of spoke-counts with the ability to custom drill the flanges if needed.
These particular hubs are a high-flange 32h model with the optional slots machined into the flanges. They’ll be laced to a pair of Jalco 27″ rims which are currently enroute from the UK and fitted to a resorted Gillet frame. I’m excited about this project as it’s not often that I get to build 27″ wheels and the finished bike should be something really special.
