Just put-it-in-the-frame and ride.
You quickly develop a technique for the rear wheel that works and saves your knuckles, too.
As for the DA 130 hub, if you mean the 8-sp with the locking cog, well, that was a problem with the cassettes, too.
I also think Shimano sort of shot themselves in the foot (feet?) from the DA 6sp freewheel right up through the 8-sp STI, with compatibility issues, and that stigma lingered a while. People just avoided Dura Ace, both for the issues and the cost. Which only benefited Ultegra even more, and still does. The R8000 is selling like crazy.
