Phil hubs

^ not as simple as that. I need double fixed.

The freewheel is of no use to me anymore.

I bought the phils with freewheel/fixed. I never flip my current wheel over that has fixed/fixed. So I will probably not do it to much in the future. And it saved me a bundle of cash that I can spend on other fun things.

That Universal cycles website emailed me back saying they will not mark anything as a gift or as an item of low value, so be warned you may get stung by customs.

I ordered them from e-bay instead. And he would mark them down and as a gift :)

You get 'em from some fella in Coney Island, Brooklyn?

yeah, twelveicat, on eBay, it's the guy you told me about pistin! Good deal, I escaped customs, can't remember if he marked it down or gift or what...

stop- just one think about universale cycles; i bought a pair of 32 holes phils on ebay , and a 17 th. cog on ebay-----they send a 28 holes front- and a 36 hole rear hub--------the cog wasn´t available-so i had to wait 6 weeks for the cog and to pay two times shipping to germany- what a fuck..........

Yeah, that's the fella, mine arrived in about a week too, no customs charges either :-)

the gift scam is a complete lottery...

how much is custom charge anyway?

Depends what they feel like! 20 - 30% of the marked value, from my experience...

no, it's VAT they charge you. 17.5 percent.

Plus admin charge...

Vat, admin and import duty.

Yeah, in your face...

Going against the grain here but I don't like the look of Phils, too chunky. Much prefer chunky but curvy - Goldtechs rock.

you reckon a brooks saddle and bar tape look good on a fuji track, your comments count for nothing! :p

Ha Dale! You're an Ozzytralian, when it comes to matters of good taste and decency your comments count for nothing!

;)

but my bikes do look good!

Actually, in this instance, much as I hate to, I agree with Dogs.

Phils are teh horn.

only profiles are better than phils, as they incorporate the end cap like goldtecs

but my bikes do look good!

I haven't seen them so couldn't comment. What's the beef with 'old skool' style kit on a newer non-lugged frame anyway?

I don't like those ribbed bits in the middle though. Phils still win.

These remind me of a pewter mug which is nice.. and those Gromada ones looked quite sexy but high-flange Phils again FTW!
