I feel similarly about phil wood, level and a few other hubs people talk about frequently.
Sure they look nice in an overbuilt fashion way, but when a rear Phil costs £130 and a pair of workhorse Surlys cost £107 (or if you want race suitable miche f&R for less than £50 or F&R Dura Ace for £125), what’s the point in spending £200+ for essentially the same thing but with a bit of polishing. Especially on a commuter bike!
