Just been quoted £63. Does that seem about right to anyone?

£16 for the bearings plus an hour or so ****ting the hub with a big hammer.
probably about right.

You can do them yourself for the price of the bearings, and I even think the instructions are on the Hope website...

You'll need 4 of these & a big hammer

What wwaswas said.
Although they are standard industrial bearings, so you can get them from your local bearing supplier (Brammer/Eriks etc) for less than a tenner and fit them yourself.
