I suspect most of us have only used the old Phil freewheel hubs, so can't
comment on the new stuff. I'm sure they're strong, but hoo boy the
cost-to-weight ratio is ugly for the cassette version.

I don't know the Quill, but have been really happy with my set of TB14s.
For me, they've been what you were asking about: light-ish and fast. Plus
they do look snappy.
This wheel set has been on two bikes-- an Appaloosa for commuting and
around town, and a Sam for open road and gravel.
Thanks for all the feedback! There's a lot to think about here. I should
have mentioned that I already have the tires I'll be riding -- Vittoria G+
Corsa Competition, 700c x 28. I really like them.
Looks like no one has anything to say about the Phil hubs, which might be
saying a lot. I
My other bike has A23's and all Compass and GB and Pasela tires I have used
auto bead seat upon first inflation.
But I think the Brevets look nicer. The logo sticker is nice and minimal
and the polished look is very bright and chrome-like.

I have two wheelsets with the polished TB14s. All 32h. Great rims,
definitely recommend those.
Go with some Ultegra or DA hubs if you can find a suitable pair in
silver/polished that supports 11spd. They are tough to beat. Some polished
White Industries hubs would be my pick if there was extra
check out velocity Quill. they are polished silver rims which are nice and
somewhat light. H Plus Son archetype also a good option that comes in
polished. as for hubs, just get 105 5800 hubs in silver. they work & look
fine. unless you want to spend $500+ on a hubset, then pick your poison
IMO, you cannot go wrong with TB14 rims. They are beautiful and bomb-proof. My
LBS is a big fan.
As for your hub choices, again either one is a winner unless you are trying to
shave off some weight as you suggest. Those rims with either hubs would be (for
me) about the most beautiful
The quote above from a wheelbuilder kept me away frim getting Mavic rims.

“I stopped using Mavic rims a few years ago. For ages they were my go to, but
recently they've shipped most production to China and Taiwan, and many builders

We have an early '80s Trek 613 in the collection. It's a relaxed frame road
bike. It has regular, not oversized, Renolds 531 tubes and was built in the
USA. In short: a light tubeset, fully lugged. In many respects I think it
is like the Rodeo design-wise. It is the daily rider for one of my
I've had great success with Mavic Open Pro rims over the years and would
recommend them. They can be purchased in a variety of weights and colors,
including silver (they do come with quite a few decals on them, however,
but you can remove those if you don't like the looks). The ones I've used
