Axles should be free-spinning with no side-to-side play. Also, make sure the locknuts are tight against the inner sleeve nut/cone. If you lack proper tools or mechanical aptitude, leave this to a professional bicycle mechanic. Occasional bearing adjustments throughout the life of the hub are normal and recommended.
Thanks, but no thanks. I'd stick with simple non-adjustable sealed bearing hubs like the Formulas. No fuss, no muss.
I was 100% noob when I bought my hub. If I understood what I as buying then maybe I wouldn't have bought an adjustable cartridge bearing hub.
