Want something that’s going to be suitable to all weather conditions and is close to bombproof.
I wouldn’t recommend either Phil or Goldtec given this brief.
The Goldtec hubs seemed to have a habit of shedding their flanges a couples years ago, got put down to exposure to salt as I remember.
Phils have the bearings very exposed so you’re relying on the shield on the bearing to repel water/salt etc.
I know a lot of hubs are of similar design but there’s also a lot that hide the bearings away or provide some additional shielding and if youre specifying weather resistance and have a Phil Wood type budget it would seem to me you could get something better.

I know it’s all personal preference and budget.....but dont really know much about Goldtec hubs. Looking for a new wheel build so would like some advice/opinions. Bank account isn’t bottomless but could stretch to Phil if needed. Want something that’s going to be suitable to all weather conditions and is close to bombproof. Thanks 😁
