Phil Wood High Flange Rear Hub

The high-flange design increases the bracing angle of the spokes, which significantly improves the lateral stiffness of the wheel. This makes the wheel more responsive and durable under the high torque and cornering forces typical of track cycling.

Yes, it is designed to be versatile. You can use it for a fixed-gear setup with a standard track cog and lockring, or install a freewheel if you prefer a single-speed configuration.

Yes, the hub includes high-quality stainless steel bolts and washers. These are designed to be durable and resistant to corrosion, ensuring a secure fit for your dropouts.

This hub has a 120mm spacing, which is the standard for track bikes. If your road bike frame has a wider rear spacing—typically 130mm or 135mm—this hub will not fit without significant modification or spacing adjustments.

Phil Wood hubs are renowned for their longevity and are built to be easily serviceable. While they are exceptionally well-sealed against the elements, you should periodically check the bolt tension and ensure the bearings remain smooth as part of your regular bike maintenance routine.
