In the next 3 months or so I will need to change the bearings in my Hope Pro2 Evo front and rear Pro2 Evo Trials. They're starting to grind.
Would it be worth group buying on this or will the savings be in pennies and not worth it?
Also, are SKF/FAG still the leading brands? I am not happy with the bearings Hope put in these hubs from stock. Okay they've done lots of revs, but in relatively nice conditions and they're only 18 months old. Every other wheelset in my house has outlasted these, including the Sturmey ones on my missus' townbike. It's not as if they're as resistance-free as the Campy ones on my roadbike, either!
