Continuing Maintenace Queries - Phil Woob BB Bearings?

[jimD]

… and yet more maintenance questions;
How often do PW BB bracket bearing go between servicing?
Everything on the custom is nearing the 15 k mark - working fine but wonder what I should be doing.

Jim,
I have a Phil BB on my Roadeo. I started riding with our club in 1984. I remember some riders having their Phil BB's lasting so long that they could hardly remove the BB from the frame. You are probably in the early part of the BB's life.

There's no way to service them, so just wait until they fail. My first set lasted about three years (15,000 miles?) on my fixed-gear Quickbeam.

Jim:

The Phil BB in my 2001 Ram is still there and still going after a
Trans Am ride and everything since . The one in my new in 2007
commuter died last spring. I put in a cheap UN-71 I had and never got
around to sending the crunchy Phil in for service.

I guess extreme conditions can mitigate one's experience with
longevity. That makes the seals sound suspect and the SKF BB unit
worth calling Compass Cycles to order.
