I've got some Nukeproof Sam Hill's on the jump bike after Furious Tiles recommended them, and they're very grippy and seem nicely made - but they're quite a lot more £ than a rebuild kit for the DMR's.
I'll see how long a rebuilt set last, then make a decision. By far the most borked is the left, which is my rear foot - and therefore the one that gets drenched whenever I got through a puddle, so it's not surprising that it's bearings have failed. I'm guessing they're not particularly well sealed, but will see I guess when the rebuild kit arrives.
I also need to replace the bearings in my lower rocker arm on the 295 (I replaced all the top ones a little while ago, but didn't do the bottom ones then because Lazy), after which I'll try to avoid riding it in the rain ever again.
