First thing I think of has already been mentioned, way too tight a bearing preload.
When teaching first timers to adjust their cup and cone bearings I tell them to start with too loose an adjustment, as determined after the wheel is secured in the frame. Feel the rocking side to side at the rim to confirm too loose a setting. Remove wheel from frame, readjust slightly tighter and recheck in the frame. It's far easier to feel a slight rock from a slightly loose an adjustment then to feel the slightly too tight condition. Andy
