The freehub is feeling a bit gritty and turns with a lot of resistance, sometimes jammed before a ride until i spray TF2 into the cassette, what can i do to get it back in good running order?

    Its a specialized hub, looked everywhere but i cant find much info on it. It has sealed cartridge bearings and instead of cones it has end caps with setscrews, and i can't figure out how to remove this. It looks identical to a cane creek axle except it cant be removed by inserting hex wrenches into each end.

    Hmmm not sure about this one. If no replies here I'd take to as Spesh dealer or email for a service guide.

    Update: took the wheel to my lbs and the guy said it shouldnt be acting like it was after 2 months, regardless of how much mud and rivers it had been through. The guy had to hammer the end caps off as they were extremely tight. The body was wobbling and the whole unit was on its way out. £20 + £5 labour charges which hargroves (who i bought it from) seem to be happy to cover the costs.
