Have I just ruined my hub?
I just bought a cheap second hand pair of wheels (Maddux RD 2.0). I put the rear on my bike and noticed their was some side to side play. It happens these are cup and cone, so I tightened it up a bit. I expected the spinning to feel a little bit rough after tightening, but it didn't, and there was still some knocking - so I tightened up some more. Still spinning smooth, still knocking. Repeat a few times, same situation. Feeling that something was wrong here, I put the wheel back on the bike. It could barely spin.
I'm very tired today, and I made a very stupid mistake as a result. Instead of testing the spinning/knocking by holding the actual hub, I was holding the quick release skewers. So I massively overtightened the cup and cone. Obviously I loosened it at that point, but now I can't seem to get it to spin smooth. Have I toasted this thing? Or is there hope that I can get this running without replacing the hub body?
Thanks
