40k on mine, never had em done. Been in 2 times for solid checkups, and both times was told there was no need. That song and dance about "they are packed, sealed bearings.... you are fine. no need to really do anything until about 80k or until you sense a problem", hahaha. Considering i put about 60 miles on my VX a month now, I am in no hurry to do it. Repacked bearings on my own well near 500 times, so I think I am quite qualified to do them on my own one day anyways. That is, if my yuppie-wannabe-deskjob-computergeek-dontwannagetmyhandsdirtyanymore-self can muster up the willpower, hahahaha.

When you get the bearings packed, post the cost. Prices tend to vary quite a bit from shop to shop. Interesting seeing where many shops stand on that.
