Sweet. Will message you later.
Hub; turn the axle with your fingers. Is it totally smooth, or is there any resistance / notching?
If there is notching, or indexing, or whatever, you need to find out which bearing(s) is to blame. Take the hub apart, taking the freebody assembly out, and the axle, and manually turn the bearings (make a note of what size the bearing are too (6803/6903, etc). Find the one(s) that are rough or resisting, and post back here.
I am going to say that most likely, with these cheap hubs, they have machined the freebody bearings too tight; these take the most amount of mad-multi-directional ragging about, so the cheaper places machine things tight to save money (we have gone into this before).
Once you figure out which one it is, we 'today we are think-abouting' about it, and figure out the cause and solution(s).
