Thanks for the detailed advice, I think I'll just take them to the shop -- the bearings should be fine, since the bike rolled perfectly and I thought it must be the chain making the noises, then I took it off and it turned out that the hub is making the grinding sounds, hopefully re-greasing them will do the trick and doing it in the shop will be most likely be cheaper than to buy a tube full of decent bearing grease :) and I only have two adjustable wrenches -- maybe somebody who knows what they're doing could open the hub with just that, but not me

Have you asked your lbs if they sell rubber sealings to put around hubs?

They probably said

Good grease, well packed and check them regularly and no harm will come from salty water unless you ride it in the sea.

that's what I've been trying to determine here, because I didn't ride in the sea and yet my primato sounds crunchy
