I have some Bullseye hubs that are now almost 40 years old, and they have exhibited this play since new, and still exhibit it to much the same degree. I replace the 6001 bearings in them every few years. There is much the same play in the Bullseye roller bearing bottom brackets, of which I still have a couple in use. If you grab the crankarms and waggle them, some small amount of play can be detected, and could be detected even when the BBs were brand new. Of the cartridge bearing hubs that I have, only the White Industries and Onyx hubs have adjusting collars that would allow for correct preload to be set if the deep groove radial bearings were replaced with angular contact bearings.
