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.
Dropping chain tension a bit does a lot to reduce/eliminate pedals turning while walking the bike with an AW, worth trying on your AG.
