hi, and welcome to my 1st posting. . my hope pro II rear hub is sounding awfull, new bearings should sort it, and from what you guys are saying, fitting them myself seems like it’ll be a doddle, …… however, i’m off to Afan on 8th may, and the only place i can find bearings is chain reaction, they’re out of stock til 15th may…. bugger!!!!! Anyone know where else i might find what i need? …… also, the hope website’s hub spares pages didn’t seem too helpfull, maybe it’s just me?

your local bearing supplier should have them just take the numbers off the seals for them, or take them out and show them so they can get like for like. should be cheaper too.
