Yeah, I'll give it another shot or two. Some tunes and a beer or two wouldn't hurt either.

But seriously, the hub is a bit too loose right now (there is play when you clamp down on the QR) but the adjustment is clearly too tight when you rotate the axle. I know what a correctly adjusted hub feels like this and this is wrong.

I'm still thinking this could be defective in some fashion. Maybe this is a bad hub that wasn't made to the right tolerances.
