Your right it can but that doesn't mean it did and that is the point operator meant which you failed to explain. You wouldn't know what a misadjusted hub did to the races and and hub until you get into it, sometimes they are fine and all you have to do is to adjust them, other times they might be destroyed, don't just assume they are bad.

Axles and cones can take a lot of punishment before going bad. Perfect no, but on these bikes and these types of axles and cones they can take a lot.

He does know, his people skills are lacking but he does know.
