If i adjust the my hubs (LX cup and cone) so that i can't feel any play when the wheel is mounted on the bike, there is slight but noticable play when i have the wheel removed. Is this because the skewer is compressing things just enough to remove the play when the wheel is mounted? How should my hubs be adjusted: so that there is no play when mounted on the bike, or no play ever? Does a little extra bearing preload cause premature wear? Also, would better bearings make any difference if the cones and the races are left alone?
Thanks for any help you can offer, and have a nice day.
