Campag hubs, re-greasing?

I have a Sportive come up, my first one after only getting into cycling in June.

I want the bike to be the best it can, so I was wondering how often do wheel hubs need re-greasing
On my Campag wheels, they have covered around 500miles, a few wet rides but nothing bad.

    My Campag Records hubds have done 5,000 miles and I haven't touched them.

  • Some models have sealed bearings, so you could lift the seal and squirt a bit of grease in them, but they should go many thousands of miles before needing it.
    Those with adjustable bearings, are a doddle to adjust and re-grease, but should still go a few years without needing attention.
    [Campag stuff is so easy to service compared to other makes]
    Recipe: shave legs sparingly, rub in embrocation and drizzle with freshly squeezed baby oil.

    I had a look.

    They are sealed bearing is just add alittle grease to the area.

    When the time comes and I still have the same wheelset (most likely not) ceramic bearings seem a good call?
