Thanks. Good to know! The "no-tool" approach is what sparked my interest on these hubs. Your 1.5 years of use w/o maintenance under mixed conditions, assuming average mileage use, is pretty good on anyone's standards. I repack my cup and cone on my commuter every 6 months or so but not because they need it. When its time to be serviced they (the hubs) will let you know as those pawls in them will become louder.
