- I have been using Bullseye hubs with the same arrangement
-
- for three years. It works very well. The allens that came
-
- with them are not metric so they have a little added security.
-
- (most bike thieves that carry tools usually carry metric I
-
- would guess. until now). But this also means you will have to
-
- carry one extra allen wrench. no big deal. I have switched
-
- the front hub to quick release for ease of transport now that
-
- I have to drive to riding areas. Yhe hubs are on my mountain bike
-
- BTW. The only drawback to Bullseye, or Phils as a rear hub is
-
- the necessity of using a threaded freewheel. Sachs has a seven
-
- speed that is compatible with Shimano Hype Campy, and the rest.
-
- Have a friend with one who reports very good, but just a little less
-
- than shimano Hype cassette quality shifting.
-
- Happy trails Happy Holidays Happy New Year
