What I don't get is the notion that adding Phil stuff frees the rider from some enormous maintenance hastle or improves the bike in some other way. At best the Phil stuff is equivalent to Campy and it may come up short in some ways.
Among tandem riders (who are harder on equipment in general), when all else has been destroyed or has failed, they turn to Phil equipment. The consensus among tandem riders is that the Phil hubs hold up best. But they are among the heaviest, which is not a big deal for tandem teams.
