Has anyone bought a set of replacement ebarings off ebay for their pro 2 hubs?
Looking at [url= http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HOPE-PRO-2-PRO-II-FRONT-REAR-HUB-BEARING-SET-/280520180896?pt=UK_sportsleisure_cycling_bikeparts_SR&hash=item41504e44a0 ]THESE[/url] - anyone got an opinion/experience of this or the seller?
I wil ofcourse remove the seal pre fitting and put more grease in if need be.
😆
That is good value, includes front and rear bearing sets. Must check my hubs and see they are ok. Just replaced the Pitch bearings with Enduro ones - well worth £50!
Ask kael.He,s good with bearings.
rob - not a chance 🙂
btw - apostophes go up high, commas go down low
Anal as well ey....
lol - teacher who lives with an English teacher 🙂
wouldn't touch em. No brand name they will more than likely last 5 mins. Proper reputable brand name bearings for long life
even if regreased before use?
No worse than some of the others out there.
They will be cheapos so you get what you pay for - email them an ask who the manufacturers are to see if they are a decent set? Otherwise you can get cheapos for that price separately?
However if you use a jet wash regularly then it won't matter as they will fail in 6 months anyhow 😉
ive used those ones before and they lasted 4 rides / washes - not pressure washer, just bucket and sponge. crap. i even added superweb grease before i fitted them and even that did'nt help
18bikes it is then 🙂
definately worth the extra mate
I'd really consider getting the correct bearing presses (includign the hub support thingy) too.
Having just done a set of Pro2's (I previously bodged stuff using sockets etc) I found the whole thing to be so much easier. I seemd to have to use less force with the hammer to get the bearings to seat properly too.
i have got them already
I just got any old ones off ebay, they have lasted well. Well over a season now. Think I paid around a £5 each. Just add loads of grease to keep the muck out...
The hope ones are that price
