Thanks, I was unaware of them.

I previously said:
You mentioned Phil hubs. A friend of mine tours on an older freewheel type Phil hub and he is quite happy with it. That design also overcomes the weak axle problem, thus that would also be a good choice.

You interpreted that as me saying that Phil made freewheels, but I was talking about the type of hub that a freewheel could be threaded onto.

The rims that I am using on my two 26 inch wheel touring bikes are no longer made, thus I am not recommending any rims. But if your old rims have much wear on the brake track then I think new rims is worth it.
