Tried to spin the rear wheel of my bike tonight and it was very stiff. Took the wheel off, messed about a little and it freed up. The wheel is a DT Swiss R1600 and has been sitting over the winter. Do I need to get it greased up or checked over?

Are they sealed bearings or cup & cone ?

Dt swiss are sealed cartridge and yes you need to get it looked at, if the hub is a dt onyx with the needle cage bearing you can ruin them if you let them go to far.
