[RBW] Re: Wheel question
Carla, I have a pair of Phil hubs on Sun polished rims from my Quickbeam; if you want to consider used. I had 2 wheel sets and sold it with a 3 speed rear and Son dynamo hub when I mistakenly sold my 68cm QB I purchased a replacement QB ( Amit) which also has Phil hubs, but haven’t received the bike from Sacramento yet.

I just laced up a set of Pacenti Brevet rims on 6800 hubs. Rims are nice. Absolutely no problem with mounting Pari Moto tires. Just a short time ago, the same question about 650b rims came up, someone posted here or ibob list indicating the VO 650b rims were a PIA for tire mounting. Perhaps the sale items are that batch of rims that are a poor match for tires.

[RBW] Re: Wheel question
No doubt the WI track hubs are well worth considering. There are more discriminators between White and Phil than just preload adjustment. White probably lighter than Phil. White mounts with hex bolts on the axels, you’ll want a peanut butter wrench in your patch kit, and have to slide your rear hub out of the dropout lengthwise (some folks find that an issue with fenders). With Phil you can pack a generic long handle hex wrench and you have the option to pull the hex head axel stubs and just drop the rear wheel. The exquisite white freewheel (priced accordingly) should spin right on the freewheel side of either brands flip flop hub. The white rear hub will have their proprietary splined interface on the fixed side instead of the standard threads with lh lock ring. Though the Phil uses standard fixed threads they are cut a bit thick (?) and don’t work with some plated cogs (e.g. euro Asia). If you’ve no interest in fixed, Phil does fw only (either one sided or fw/fw flip flop). I don’t know if White offers those options. They aren’t listed on the web site, but neither are 135 old T11 rear hubs and I’ve got one of those on my AHH.

I've built a number of quill rims up for Riv's. They're way stiffer (that's a good thing) than A23 rims, more stable under high tension, and generally ride and track better. Make sure you get machined sidewalls. The polished finish is pricey but gorgeous. If you don't already have PW hubs, consider the White Industries hubs, which have adjustable bearing preload, so you can adjust for slop. Can't do that with Phil Hubs. White hubs have a super high static load rating, which means they can take a serious whooping. You don't need weird tools to adjust them. Plus their freewheel is the best on the market. Sapim Force spokes are beefy, decently light... If you do Quill rims, you need tubeless tape, even if you run tubes. -james On Sunday, April 7, 2019 at 1:53:20 PM UTC-4, Carla Waugh wrote: > > On my 700c singlespeed I want to have new wheels using Philwood hubs in > silver of course.

I concur with S about the Mavic A319's. They come in silver and I my wheels are 36 spoke with 1.8/2.0/1.8 double butted DT spokes. Since I weigh 275-280lbs they really hold their true and have not let me down. I believe that they are a wonderful value at about $55 per hoop. Available in both 32 and 36 holes.
