I bought a Shimano XT mtb hub to build a front wheel for my bike.The hub is new but it seems especially stiff for a new hub.I played with the lockrings and still the hub spins with considerably more resistance than road bike hubs I've encountered.Is this normal for MTB hubs?Will they work thenselves in after a while and turn easier?There is no grinding and they turn smoothly just more stiffly.Thanks for your input.
