Crunchy
When i tighten the locknut on cone type hubs, after tightening the inner nut just right, it often comes out crunchy, ie too tight. Not sure if there's a trick to it, but i usually loosen the inner nut a little more than ideal before tightening the lock nuts. If I'm lucky it comes out just right. If not, repeat until perfect. Also, it seems that putting the riders' weight on the bike makes the bearings effectively slightly looser, so a tiny bit of resistance in a non- weighted hub may be just right under load. Not sure why, but it seems so.
