Well, to be honest I was paying a shop to replace the bearings last year which drives up the cost.
Been learning to do this stuff myself.
If I did do it myself: White Industries T-11 front had two 6901-2rs and rear three 6902-2rs and two 6802. All those together are $40 at bearings direct after shipping. I had to replace all of them last winter (two sets of replacement sessions for different bearings). The rims/wheel re-building is the more expensive part; Two new A23s are $120 after shipping not including any spokes/nipples that need to be replaced. So the cost of using those wheels in the winter could be $160+ which is about the cost of a cheaper wheelset. Can't imagine what a shop would charge to do all that.
