Actually, was using freehubs when I weighed well over 300 pounds. On
those bikes, the handlebars were right around saddle height. Never
have liked the bars too low. Only problem was spoke breakage due to a
poor factory build.
Don't believe my Phil is IRD specific. It's the shiny Rivendell
I feel your pain. I had two IRD freewheels fail within a few hundred
miles. Both from the same source. But after that, I've had one that's
gone well over 1,000 miles without a problem. Not saying that's a
lot... just that it is obviously different than my experience with the
others. So I'm

Certainly. Back in the Good Old

Those are cassette sprockets. I doubt they fit a freewheel body - ANY

Thomas,
I'll tell you soon how this works out, i have a Phil Wheel IRD FW hub
and i'm about to replace it with a sunrace one, at least until i can
figure out if my IRD is trust-worthy or not.
From my research before, i couldn't find any deal-breaker differences
between the IRD specific

Well, I happen to like the Phil fw hub on my Sam Hillborne. Will
admit that it was done (a) because it was something I wanted, having
lusted after them in the 1980's, and (b) got an extremely good deal on
it.
Would I do it again? Probably not. The rest of my bikes have
cassettes and am quite
Careful with that Shimanopore freewheel if you've got an IRD-specific
Phil hub. If you do, and if it works for you, then maybe I have some
other issue (probably installer error though I can't see how right
mow) that prevented it from working for me.
Creepily (to me, having grown up in a
Man i think i'm freaked out enough now by these IRD failures that i
need to swap out the one that i have on my SH before my next camping
trip...
