No maintenance except for making sure the cranks are still on tight.

Mine seems to like getting regreased every now and then on the chainring bolts ect, but that is probably due to all the nasty weather I rode it in.

You grease sealed bearings?

on the chainring bolts ect

Umm, as I said around the chainrings bolts and other Al to Al spots. The Rep also said he needed to put some grease around where the spider mounts on to kill off a nasty creak.

I killed off one set of creaks that way. I am going to try the spider trick next to get the rest.

Not greasing any sealed bearings- would kind of defeat the "sealed" portion of that designation.

the price of a stiff light aluminum bike. chainring bolts, spider, crank. especially the crank. here in co its very dry so i'm attentive to keeping fresh t9 on every few rides. the downside is dust and some grit finds a home. spray a bit of mineral spirits, wipe, little t9 and good to go. seems like every 1000-1200 miles or so a quick clean out of the bb. all in all, minimal maintenance.
