[Closed] Hope Pro4 bearings knackered already?

Had the wheel off the other day to give it a true up, and every bearing in the flash new Pro4 hub is knackered already. I've had it since Feb, but it's not covered a lot of miles or had that much mud as it's on my full sus, which only tends to be ridden 2 few times a month on trail centres/uplifts, not pressure washed etc. When I say knackered, I mean either completely sized or not far off.

Phoned hope and they want me to send the wheel in, which is a bit of a faff (was hoping for some new bearings in the post as I've heard of them doing similar things often!)

Anyone else having problems? I bought them on the logic that my pro2's are still giong strong after 5+ years, and these with tighter machining etc would outlast them
