Ok, bag of bearings courtesy of Brick Lane Bikes, repacked, and things are pretty... ok. Not perfect, but for £4, not bad and will keep me rolling while I save up for something a bit nicer.
Nice aside - got about 10 miles out from home on a test run, hadn't tightened the cones down properly. Idiot. Gingerly nursed towards home with a wobbly wheel and rolling through a village spotted a MTB-er coming out of a drive. Pulled over with a "long shot, but you don't have any cone spanners handy?" Turns out his dad does, in the shed. Quick re-tighten, back on the road.
