Why do we recommend "PHILWOOD"?

Hello everyone

This is Kusunoki.

Today I would like to introduce the American component brand "PHILWOOD".

PHILWOOD is a brand I often hear about when thinking about customization.
Three of the four sets of wheels I own use PHILWOOD hubs, and that's why I find them so appealing.
So why is it so appealing?

PHILWOOD isFounded in San Jose, California in 1971.
Planning, manufacturing, assembly and all processesManufactured at our own factory in San Jose, California.
Beautiful and simple design. Extremely durable and high quality hub.Not only is it durable, but it has been carefully polished and has a beautiful finish, which is one of the reasons I love it.

PHIL WOOD parts are really durable.
The reason why we are so particular about durability is the strong desire of Mr. Peter, who was the chief production officer at the time.
"We don't want people to get injured using the products we make, so we want them to be made strong enough to not break."This is due to the single-mindedness.
For that reasonWithout making any compromises,In all processes from the materials used to the manufacturing process and finishingWe carry out thorough quality control.
Thoroughness that can only be achieved at our own factory. That's why it's loved by cyclists all over the world, including Messenger.

PHIL WOOD HIGH FLANGE TKACK HUB

PHIL WOOD LOW FLANGE TKACK HUB

PHILWOOD has color variations.Another big feature is its abundance.
It is available in eight colors, and limited edition colors will also be released at spots.
Like CHRIS KING and WHITE IND., there are many American component brands that come in a wide variety of colors.

You can choose between HIGH and LOW hub flanges, and if you want to specialize in rigidity, you can choose the HIGH flange, and if you want to save weight, you can choose the LOW flange.
However, in reality, PHIL's hub is heavy and doesn't spin like crazy.
It's more durable than light.
The weight of the eternal pursuit of unbreakability,Still, I admire the manly feeling of pursuing one thing to the limit.

When you first start using it, the bearings are covered in grease.I'm not saying it's going to spin like crazy, butWith use, the grease in the bearings will become familiar and the bearings will be in better condition than when they were first used.
Don't worry, slippery rotation will accelerate acceleration.

For those who want to build a lightweight wheel, we recommend PHILWOOD's PRO TRACK.

PHIL WOOD PRO HIGH FLANGE TRACK HUB

If you want PHILWOOD but are worried about weight and rotation, please choose this PRO TRACK.
Upgraded carbonite bearings, titanium bolts, cutouts, etc. Approximately 150g lighter than a normal high flange truck hub front and rear set.You can get off to a great start right from the start.
I also use the combination of PRO TRACK x F RIM, and I'm very satisfied with the smooth ride and good bite when turning.
If you want to use PRO TRACKI think carbon rims such as F RIM are better.

We also have stock wheels using PHIL hubs at our Osaka store, so please come and have a look.
