Well, I think Shimano LX hubs are a pretty great deal. I have them on a cargo bike that I use in all kinds of nasty weather, I routinely carry myself (200 punds) plus over 100 pounds in the front bed, plus the weight of the bike which must be another 35-40 pounds. No sign of trouble after 1-1/2 years of hard use. Thats a 9 speed freehub laced 36 to a 26" sun rim and a small front wheel (20"). It's worth looking at if the phil's are not "reasonable" enough!
