Sure there is. One side tries to rotate the hub clockwise, the other side counter-clockwise. Plenty of opposing force. Main issue during build is said to be that you kinda have to sneak up on it in small increments, as the hub is pretty much free to flop around until the torque begins to be noticeable.
