So all the adjustment of the end play should always be done on the non drive side lock nut. I use grade 10 bearings, never use anything worse than grade 25 ( The high the value the less concentric the bearing balls will be). I use two types of grease, Dura ace Grease, and Campagnolo Grease. The Campagnolo grease was reintroduced and while ago, a bit pricey but I get it from the Supplier that made it for Campagnolo. Kluber Lubricants made the Grease for Campagnolo.
Same Grease in the Kluber Tube.

Thank you. In my compulsiveness, I made sure the 'tight' side of the hub remained on the drive side, just in case it's relevant. I didn't see grade 10 bearings available when I bought mine. Do you have a supplier you recommend? And I had no idea the Campy grease had been reintroduced. Good to know.
