Make sure you get some fresh grease in your hubs every 3 months.

Sounds like you bike as much as me and I have almost nothing else to do.

This is the minimum maintenance my hubs require.

Welcome Jeff!
We are getting a lot of "young" riders on this site. Everyone is starting to make me feel a lot younger. I travel by you when heading to the finger lakes and Rochester during my northern travels; nice area.
Take care,
Jesper
