Quick release hubs, used with hex locking skewers. Cup and cone bearing adjustments?
I am in the process of refurbishing a pair of wheels at the moment. The hubs are a pair of older Shimano Deore hubs. I have already taken the axles out and cleaned everything. Tomorrow I will be packing new grease and bearings in. I have experience adjusting cup and cone bearing hubs with quick release. It is something that I have done and I am referencing the Park Tool webpage.
The question that I have is that the bike in question will be a commuter bike and I would like to use a pair of locking skewers that requires an allan key to remove the wheel. Do I still adjust the hubs so that there is a little bit of play in the bearing when the wheels are off the bike and zero play when the quick release are closed?
Thanks in advance!

Yes.
But the Allen wrenched skewers likely won't have the same clamping force as a proper internal cam QR skewer has. So the amount of off bike slop might be less. Andy.

Exactly. Delta insists on a maximum of 7N-m torque for their bolt on skewers, which seems to give less clamping force than most levered quick releases. When switching to bolt on skewers I definitely had to tighten the wheel cones to get less than zero play.

You might find that you're not right in assuming no nutted length axles exist for QR specs. Andy.
