Broken hub, replacement options?
I've had a pair of Phil Wood hubs for over thirty years and just noticed
some wobble in my rear tire. My bike shop (a trustworthy place) reports that the hub is broken and they'd recommend replacement. I don't have a high-end modern bike. It's a parts hybrid assembled in the early seventies that includes an Allegro 531 frame, some Campagnolo gear and a few pedestrian components that I really should get around to replacing (Universal 61 centerpulls, that sort of thing). But my immediate concern is a new hub. I ride for fitness, usually not more than 12-15 miles a day, all urban cycling on surface streets. I don't need anything fancy but don't really want something that would be inappropriate with the upgrades I'm gradually doing. Would someone like to recommend something and let me know what price I'll need to anticipate? Do I need to replace both hubs or just one? Thanks in advance for any suggestions. ---- |
