Yeah, not cheap.  I'd be tempted to buy one, but don't see myself doing the job again any time soon.  With how rarely I ride, I'd plan to regrease maybe every year or so but probably not replace any bearings for 5 years or more.  Maybe I'll buy one then.  lol

I'm pretty sure the bearings were stock.  When I pulled them out and twisted the aluminum sleeve, they were pretty crusty and definitely made a grinding sound.  But, I'd hope that cleaning and regreasing the new ones every year or so would help them last a little while.
