Freehub servicing

[compo]

I have now done about 1.5k miles on my new bike, the first one I have ever had with a freehub rather than a freewheel. Is there anything I should routinely do with the freehub or is it a matter of if it isn't broke don't mend it? I was just thinking of cleaning and regreasing bearings.

Park Tools has a very good page on Freehub servicing here

Freehubs and bearings are normally packed with enough grease for a lifetime.

The only problems usually arise from poor seals letting water in.
