The whole IRD/Riv FW thing confuses everyone I've talked to about it.
The guys at PW were kind enough to explain the IRD specific hub design
to me last year when I was deciding on hubs for another set of wheels.
Garth,
OK I spoke with our engineer for a little more feedback
on
I have used two IRD freewheels on two different Phil Wood hubs. No
problemo in my case.
