Some of the wheels on my rental fleet had bearings that seemed a little tight upon first spin. Most of these are Shimano. They freed up pretty quickly and run nice and smooth now. We've had little difficulty with the Ultegra Tubeless wheels we've been running. One of the rears needed a little truing, but other than that, they've stayed round and true and the bearings haven't developed play or caused us any issues. So far, we've not felt a need to play with the bearings at all.
