Were the cones loose when you bought the wheels? Are you sure you didn't get the cones too tight?
I've wondered if riding a few miles after a lube job would help loosen things up.
First off thanks guys for your thoughts on what kind of grease you like ( it's funny know one said Park)
Clifford , cones were adjusted perfect when I bought the wheels and like wise when I put them back together . Like I said "when I put them back together they were fine" they were fine not at all to tight , but they didn't have that butter feel , more like a low viscosity feel .
davidad I hear you about preload and QR , I would like to make a clamp that holds a travel indicator to measure endplay when everything is tight on the bike . I think .001-.002 would be good . Do you think a indicator would be over kill ? Or just go by feel ? Anyhow thanks guys .
