I don't think it's limited to 'cheap' hubs-I just spent a good few hours trying to dismantle and service a Hope Pro 3.
Looks fucking easy in their vid when it's a brand new one being ripped open by a dude built like a rugby player, but try doing it when the guy you bought them off's left them gunked up and unloved for months and every bearing is totally fucked inside out and determined to stay put.
Not impressed-makes Novatecs look like a harmony of simplicity and design.

Just a note to stay clear of Fulcrum Racing Sport wheels. Got a set on a Planet X bike.
360 miles later the freehub has completely jammed up. Stripped them down last night (what a ball ache) to find I need a 12mm allen key to remove the freehub body (after you have stripped the rest of the hub).
Fortunately they were only going to be on it short term while I got something else built (which now needs to happen asap), what a load of shit. Worst design ever.
