I'm adjusting my AG hub after installation. I adjusted the drive side cone as you do, set up the indicator, and shift cable. I backed off the drive side cone a half turn (perhaps a little more), and fastened the lock ring. However when I push the bike forward, it engages the driver and the pedals move. Folks do minor non-drive cone adjustment on AW hubs to loosen things up a tad and prevent that, but how can I do that with a generator attached? Has anyone adjusted an AG before? I think the outer cone on the face of the generator / non-drive side is to adjust the tightness of the generator cover to the axle end, not the hub bearings. But perhaps I am wrong.
I'm starting to wish I had a regular AW and separate Dynohub.
