[Closed] Hope Pro4 bearings knackered already?

Had the wheel off the other day to give it a true up, and every bearing in the flash new Pro4 hub is knackered already. I've had it since Feb, but it's not covered a lot of miles or had that much mud as it's on my full sus, which only tends to be ridden 2 few times a month on trail centres/uplifts, not pressure washed etc. When I say knackered, I mean either completely sized or not far off.

Phoned hope and they want me to send the wheel in, which is a bit of a faff (was hoping for some new bearings in the post as I've heard of them doing similar things often!)

Anyone else having problems? I bought them on the logic that my pro2's are still giong strong after 5+ years, and these with tighter machining etc would outlast them

Sounds like they want to inspect the hub to see if it might affect other people. I'm sure they're just as surprised as you are.
