Why do you think you need a dishless rear wheel? How much do you weigh? On Tue, Nov 21, 2017 at 7:47 AM, Belopsky wrote: > Tried to send you a message.. > On Tuesday, November 21, 2017 at 6:01:23 AM UTC-5, Trevor saxton wrote: >> >> I have a 650b rivy wheelset that I

Re: [RBW] Re: Phil "Rivy" freewheel wheelset opinions?

My Riv (97 Road Standard) had Phil hubs (pre-"Rivy"), and I rebuilt the rear dishless with a 650b Synergy OC rim. But, I ended up selling off that wheelset to a list-member because of the "freewheel issue". Aka, there are few freewheels available, with ever-dwindling gear selection and quality.

[RBW] Re: Phil "Rivy" freewheel wheelset opinions?

"unless you want to keep a vintage bike using vintage components, I can't see the sense in buying a new freewheel hub or wheelset today." This discussion happens every time freewheels are brought up. The appeal seems to be dishless rear wheels..I suppose there are other ways to do this but I

[RBW] Re: Phil "Rivy" freewheel wheelset opinions?

I've had a Phil Wood freewheel tandem hub give up on me. We were half way up a hill and the pedals started spinning without the bike going forward. I was cursing (as I initially thought) the crappy Suntour tandem freewheel, but when we finally got home and I removed the wheel from the frame, I

All they have left is a front hub. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to rbw-owners-bunch+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. To post to this group,

[RBW] Re: Phil "Rivy" freewheel wheelset opinions?

As of 20 November 2017 it appears they still have them in stock . I have several Shimano "Tourney" 7 speed freewheels in a drawer that I must have got for about 10 bucks each. I really love this

[RBW] Re: Phil Rivy freewheel wheelset opinions?

I use Phil FW hubs, and had a second pair built last year. No issues with them , other than check the end caps every once in while to make sure they are sung. I've used but never owned cassette wheels. I may some day but I've got a large stock of FW's to last likely for my life ... so I'm

[RBW] Re: Phil Rivy freewheel wheelset opinions?

I have a set of older Phil Touring hubs without the field serviceable axle. I bought a few freewheels from Riv. I would absolutely by a brand new set today so long as I were comfortable with a 7 or 8speed setup. Why? Simply because there are barely any quality cassette hubs with cartridge

I have had a Riv Phil f/w hub on my Sam Hillborne for the past couple of years. No problems with the hub. Pretty surprising, as it was my first wheel build. Don't have much current experience with non- Shimanopore freewheels, so can't contribute there. Eric Platt St. Paul, MN On Aug 4, 7:50

[RBW] Re: Phil Rivy freewheel wheelset opinions?

I too have a recent rivy Phil Wood FW hub on my hillborne. I bought it last year, as long as your comfortable that you'll be able to source reasonable freewheels for the next few years then go for it. More practical people would tell you to get a Deore or LX freehub built for the same price

[RBW] Re: Phil Rivy freewheel wheelset opinions?

I am going to have to buy a few as I don't have any on hand, but the freewheel gear ranges that Shimano makes seem like they would work fine for the riding I do. It isn't too terribly hilly where I live so using an 11 tooth or a 34 really isn't necessary. The freewheels seem cheap enough that

[RBW] Re: Phil Rivy freewheel wheelset opinions?

Then Phil are your hubs Ryan! You know ... the demise of the freewheel was thought of long ago yet they still keep on going. I remain unsold on the whole cassette idea to this day it's so nice to be able to choose your FW mechanism... rather than be stuck with what the Mfr. decides
