Mavis Cosmic Elite Hubs - Any Maintenance Required?
I belive these are sealed bearing hubs, correct? Is there anything I should do in terms of maintenance on them? No issues, just thinking about preventative measures.

Mavic Cosmic Elite wheels have FTS-L rear hubs, and these hubs need regular maintenance. Go on the Mavic website or Youtube to see how to maintain a Mavic FTS-L rear hub. It is actually very easy.
The maintenance consists of cleaning and lubing the freehub body.

After looking at the hubs, they are an older version (probably 2000-2001 vintage). I don't believe they are the FTS-L hubs. So, the question stands ... what kind of maintenance is required/can I do on these?
Thanks!
Thanks!

This is more important if you're riding in frequent snow/slush/rain/dirty conditions.
