I use Phil FW hubs and they are zero maintenance , which is exactly why I chose them for 2 sets of wheels (so far) . I was done cleaning and adjusting cup/cone hubs in the early 80's when even my Stumpjumper came with Specialized cartridge bearing hubs . The Phil CS hubs looks pretty easy to dismantle, as does the VO, not so much the White . Phil and King and likely White you'll be able to get parts for long term if you need them , VO I doubt . Velocity does make CS hubs also , and I suspect they would offer some long term support as well .
For me, it's all about little or no maintenance . Every quality hub these days is going to roll well , and have great sealing from water , so it just comes down to asking yourself , do I want a cup/cone hub and regular maintenance, or cartridge bearing hubs with little or none . -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
