How long after the bearings were changed did the wheel come off?

A taper lock should never come off on less it was not tightened or excessive vibration

Hi Martin is it ? you need to make sure that the two surfaces are clean on the taper lock outer surface and the inner surface on the pulley . but it sounds like the grub screws have not been tightened enough. Has the taper lock split ? If you need any more help I have qualified Timberwolf technicians you can talk to. Gareth of Green Plant 01483 235111
