I also learned from another poster on here that the bearings in cartridge wheels like these should be adjusted to just remove any play and that's all (no preload like with C'n'C).
Yes I do all my skews like this 90 deg. to frame or so that when the lever is straight and inline the axle and the tension just starts at this point is were I leave it.
