What bearings do I need for my Hope mono xc rear hub?

Retro Guru
Hi. I bought this hub from a fellow retrobike member a while ago and it needs new bearings. Should build into a lovely new wheel I hope! This is the exact hub - viewtopic.php?f=39&t=384605

Does anyone know the exact type of bearings Hope uses? I found this on eBay - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HOPE-MONO-XC ... 1459020735

I don't really want to cut corners with wheel bearings so if anyone has any recommendations and perhaps knows the specs I'd be really grateful for a headsup on the options out there now plus is it easy to pop them out and press in?

Any help much appreciated

Re:

The bearing should have some (tiny) writing on it , like "6001 RS", that'll be the size of bearing you'll need.
You could check on the Hope website, the tech docs for the hub should be there... https://www.hopetech.com/product-documents/hubs/

As for bearings, in my experience they all spin as well, but a decent branded bearing should last longer e.g. SKF etc...
