It was a joy, I did the same but with a bit of threaded rod. When I was servicing it I thought I couldn't even estimate how may miles that things done but I reckon it has to be in the region of 100k miles, granted I should have serviced it a long time ago. Still that's all on the same set of bearings and one of them was still smooth!

Serving a Phil hub is a lovely process isn’t it. I use the getto method of a front QR as a press and the old bearings to protect the new ones. How many miles do you think you get from a set. I’ve got through a couple of set is 20k miles of riding.
