This weekend i went on a really wet and muddy ride and now my front hub is squeaking. Its a formula 20mm hub. I am sure that inside of the hub has some sand/dirt particles in it. Only problem is, I cant figure out how to take the thing apart to clean it out. I dont even think it is possible. Is there a way?

its possible to take apart ever hub on the market. most likely with you hub you will need to pry the 20 mm cup out of the hub. but you can probibly solve our problem by just putting a little lube(triflow) where the 20mm cup intersects the main hub body. this will solve the problem 90% of the time. the reason this is that the mud will pull the lube away from the seals of the hub leaving them dry. dry rubber is very squeaky
i know when mine started making bad noises i could not get it to stop, so since they are such inexpensive hubs (like 30 bucks) i just bought another one, and relaced it. super easy.
