Know that with some hubs an axle that spins within the drop outs can cause the bearings/cones to change their adjustment. I've seen wheels installed by novices where a well adjusted axle bearing (and with good cone/locknut counter tightening was done) ends up in the frame with a very over tightened axle bearing. To the point of nearly locking up the wheel's spin. Andy.
