    26.00 is cheap. How much is your time worth when pushing your bike home?

        Take your bearing out and take it to the local auto parts store that deals in bearings....like O'Reillys here in Texas or NAPA everywhere....I think you'll be surprised at the price difference......

            Wheel bearings for most bikes are available through many outlets, like Dennis Kirk, and they're very inexpensive.

            What will cost (reasonable, though) will be the labor; it takes special tools to drive out the old bearings and drive in the new ones, and you're far better off leaving this operation to a competent dealer.

            I did, and I think the labor was $30 for one front wheel (two bearings).
            and God said, "Let there be air compressors!"

                  Al,

                  Just remove the bearings and take them to the Will Call counter at Motion Industries or Applied Industrial Technologies, or any reputable bearing distributor. I got mine at Motion Industries and they cost less than $10.
