As above, any idea how much a shop will charge for this?
Thanks in advance.

1/2 hour labour plus parts would be about right IMO
fairly easy to DIY though.

Peter, if I take a hammer to my wheel, it'll never turn again
Only slight play at the mo, but off for a weeks hols in Swaledale soon, so I'd better get it sorted.
Ah well, it's lasted three years so not too bad.

3 years is a miracle for pro 2s!

THREE YEARS!!! I get through them in four of five months to each set! If you're getting play then change them asap, roughness is a sign they need changing imo. They really are suprisingly simple to pop in and out.

Rusty,
I looked into this not to long ago and found i could buy the hope tools and the bearings for the same price as i could get a shop to do it for. There are heaps of videos on the net, Hope have some really good ones on their website. Have a look and see if you think you would manage as if you get the tools you will be able to service the hubs whenever they need it.
Cheers

I'd guess about £50 but that would be a guess. Bearings are £25 online and theyd need to charge for time and make profit.
You can buy all the tools and bearings for that. Videos on line. With the correct tools it really is easy and you'll be doing them again at some point.

+1 Hope tools
My LBS mechanic suggested this to me, and its easy - obviously bought the tools and the bearings from them.

Think it cost me $55

Cheers for the advice folks.
Might just give it a go and report back.
Bearings have outlasted two drivetrains, a pair of pedals, two saddles and three Hit the Norths. I'm obviously not thrashing them enough
Partners bike has had two sets in 4 years, but she's always had them done as part of a regular service and couldn't remember how much they were.
Once again, thanks for the advice.

£19 for the tools.
Just bought Japanese stainless bearings for front and rear Pro2 hubs (including the free hub) for £20 from a local bearing supplier.Took about an hour to do both wheels after allowing for time to thoroughly clean everything before reassembly.

As above - tools + bearings =
Might be worth investing in a soft-nosed hammer too...
