What condition are all of the components?

If you were building a hub with all new components I wouldn't worry.

Pitted cones won't adjust very smoothly. Sometimes locknuts won't stay tight on worn axles. If you rebuilt using really old bearings that had been run dry for awhile, they may be ovalized and will reorient themselves which will result in the hub loosening.
