Hi. A bit of a newbie question I'm afraid. This is the spec of my wheels
  • Wheelset: Vera Corsa DPD22, double wall, 28/32h Formula disc hubs
  • I hope that's enough information.
And I'd like to know if possible, do I need to oil/lubricate the hubs somehow to keep them spinning smoothly?

The short answer is no. The wheels are sealed cartridge bearings and will be fine for the forseeable future. Just ride.

I found a poultice of bird droppings and custard makes an excellent lubricant.

On a serious note, one many old sealed bearings I've used a syringe to inject grease under the seal, with great success. However, as aforementioned, you're many, many years from needing to worry about that.
