got through my original set in a few months, got through the 2nd set in a few months 3rd/4th just as quick, just ordered a new set of SKF’s but does anyone else go through them this quickly?

no mine are trouble free for over a year now. Id get in touch with hope they shouldnt wear like that

Yep

well not just hope bearings, lots of different brands, so maybe a common denominator there..?

strange thing mine are 10 months old and have stopped making that pro2 special noise , are they fecked ?

cheesy my hubs stopped being so noisy once turned out one of the pawl springs were bust

front hub i’m on about

ack mine with fresh grease about every two/three months in winter and once over the summer. Still running on originals at about 14months.

lateral play in mine so not really solved by packing

I was getting through Pro2 front bearings at an alarming rate one the tandem.

Then i switched to Enduro Max Bearings from BETD and I’ve not had a problem since.

Fatmutha there were people getting play in their Pro2 20mm hubs, I had a bit myself but it wasn’t the bearings, it just needs retightened from time to time.

Sheldon Brown reckons these should never be used on a bicycle…

Sheldon Brown is dead (RIP) he’s never going to find out if you fit enduro max bearings.

Sheldon Brown didn’t have to keep changing standard bearings on the front of my tandem either…..
