Guess mine's a little boogered then cos it stops spinnig
without a whole lot of torque on the nut. Doesn't really
matter to me right now...let the next owner worry with it.
Thanks for the input tho!

| Disc or drum, no matter how tight you get the axle nut, it shouldn't matter to the bearings, because you're only bearing on the inner races and center spacer. If when you tighten the axle nut the wheel becomes hard to spin, there is some other problem, like poorly shimmed tapered roller bearings. The disc wheels have sealed ball bearings and should be affected even less. Chris Berry wrote:
