Phill Wood

Hub


Phil Wood introduced the now-standard Field Serviceable Axle (FSA) in 1991. The FSA design enables the axle to be separated from the hub after unthreading the end caps using two hex wrenches. The quick release axles use a 5 mm hex wrench and the bolt axle hubs use an 8 mm hex wrench. Our axles are threaded externally, with the end caps threaded to exactly match the axle thread. The hubs use shouldered axles that precisely position the bearings.

The Field Serviceable Cassette (FSC) design enables to you to remove the axle (as in our FSA hubs) and easily perform maintenance on both the hub bearings and the Phil freehub body mechanism. Our freehub body is 8-, 9-, and 10-speed Shimano compatible. The axles are precision ground to 15 mm in diameter. The hub shells use a unique Hi-Lo flange configuration enabling better balanced spoke tension.

All disc brake hubs use the international standard 6-bolt rotor mounting pattern.

• ROAD, freewheel and cassette rear options

Bottom Bracket 

Phil Wood & Co. manufactures square taper bottom brackets for nearly all square taper cranks. The spindles are made out of either US produced heat-treated stainless steel or aerospace grade titanium. Standard spindle lengths range from 70mm to well over 155mm. The spindles are sold as either a plain spindle (for use with press-fit style bottom bracket shells) or assembled in a cartridge with bearings. Cartridge widths are available for bottom bracket shells in 63, 68, 73, or 100mm with any spindle length to accommodate the target frame. Custom spindle lengths and cartridge widths are available upon special request.

Our cups (also known as mounting rings) are sold separately from the bottom brackets and are available in all the threadings (British, Italian, Raleigh Super Corsa, French, Swiss, and Chater Lea). Extended cups with a left-hand lock ring are available in British threading for use with E-Type derailleurs or to hold a bracket to mount a chain guard. Occasionally, when British threads are damaged, mechanics have been known to salvage the frame by tapping the damaged side for Italian threading and installing an Italian cup on that side. Phil Wood cups are also available in singles to accommodate these issues.
