You mean an axle for a hub, correct?Physics would dictate that it would loosen, not tighten as you were riding and that it doesn't make any difference which way it was installed, but I have an idea. If this insults your intelligence I apologize but I am trying to think of everything.1) No locknut on one or both of the cones. This is the only way a cone could move one way or the other.2) Too many bearings. Install the bearings until the cup is full, then remove one.3) Bearings too small. Forces them to "bunch up" and lock against cone and cup.4) Cones too deep, contacting the cup or inside of the hub shell.5) If the bearings are in a retainer, the retainers may be installed backwards.</blockquote>
