I've had FAG & Fafnir from Hope in the past
Either those or another top brand like SKF are good
Look at simplybearings or bearingking for prices

The ones that i got in the post today are SKF ones.They work out cheaper from Hope than a bearing supplier.

£9.89 from crc for a pair of 61804 2rs bearings for a pro 2 front hub,this was with the 10% discount offer they had on. If you scroll down here you can see the price of the skf ones http://simplybearings.co.uk/shop/advanced_search_result.php?sort=2a&search_in_description=0&keywords=61804&x=0&y=0
Also found a site that does budget ones but no idea of quality http://www.akbearings.co.uk/search.asp?strKeywords=6804+2rs&submit.x=0&submit.y=0&submit=%BB

I'm running one of the kits from AK Bearings, above.
Quality is good. SKF / FAG are obviously going to be good, but a bit OTT in my opinion.
Could probably buy a new hub for what a set would cost.Posted 1 year ago # -
Thanks guys for your help & pointing me in right direction.

Bought genuine SKF bearings for Hope XC hub off these people on Ebay. Just watch out for postage charges.
