I just started building up my second set of wheels with 6800 hubs, the first set have been used pretty much for a solid year, including a grim salty Scottish winter, and are still rolling smoothly. I'll service the bearings while i'm replacing the worn out rims, but more so it's done and I can forget about it than they actually need it yet.
I listened to an interview with Keith Bontrager recently where he was saying all bike hubs should be cup & cone but for some reason consumers will only accept it from Shimano.
