Phil Wood is bent

I have an old stock Hi-Lo phil rear hub, for 6 or 7 speed screw-on geared block.

I have hardly ffing used it, its on a 70s Mercian road bike that I have really yet to use in anger.

It seems like its bent, some where along the axle.

AAARGH.

Anybody know which bit of the axle would bend like this, or how I find out? I don't really get how the Phil axles work to be honest.

hold the hub and spin the axle. if it moves around take it out and might be able to straighten or get ted to machine a new axle

Hollow QR axle, right? The old ones have a friction-fit collar on the axle just like the new ones... I have a 36h 130mm spaced rear you can have/swap for summat... Axle should be identical...

Joe: Nope, bolt on. I'm *assuming *the bolt-axle thingys will be the same size/thread, but what makes me wonder is the fact that allen hole is a funny imperial size... maybe the older ones had a diff. axle. I'm sure Phil will help me out if they can, just trying to work out what's gone wrong at the moment.

So Dogs you're saying that the thing that's bent will be the bolt-axle thing?

The end of the axle (where the QR/bolt collar fits) will be the same anyway... Lemme know if Phil can't help, I've got no real use for this hub other than prettying up my mantlepiece...

Cool man, I'll give you a shout. It might just be a borrow so I can ride this thing next weekend, if it works.

But no-one posted about Mr Phil Wood and his sexual preferences! I'm disappointed.

Phil Wood's would with his wood.

You shoulda gone with I bent my wood as a thread title...

hahahahahah!

OK bumping this cos I need to find a Phil doctor in London:

who's got the knowledge and tools to properly strip and swap bits in Phils, namely the axles?

murtles got a hammer

yeah so I heard.

Mosquito sell the stuff so I'd assume they can tinker with it too?

it wasn't bent, skully is getting dementia
