Okay so the slight resistance (which is mainly just a low-key fluffy noise) is negligible.

Checking it again, I also noticed that there is a slight play. If I hold the cranks on each side and try to wobble it, there is a small wobble and clicking noise with each wobble. Maybe 0.5-1mm wobble? Is this also negligible? Its not something that I notice or hear when I ride at any intensity be it standing or while sitting on the saddle.
