They might of tightened up or something.

I'll try that, but they where pretty loose yesterday. Like it would roll, lock, roll, lock, roll, then locked and would roll. When I would try to move it, it would sound like it was about to explode or something.

roll lock roll lock sounds like you axle is bent. And you cones are tight. Take out the axle, then roll the axle on the ground, and see if it is straight first. If it is then perhaps your Hub might be pooched.

If axle bent, then replace. If not bent repack it all and see how it goes. If the problem persists, get a job and get a new wheel.

I see. Now I got it to spin! Stoked, but not super smoothly. I had to loosen the cone nuts, that was a bitch of a job.

Is this an unsealed hub? I had this problem back in the day with an unsealed hub. It would just lock up. I loosened the cone nuts and it helped for a day, then it locked up again. Took it to a shop and they said the internals were crushed.

If it locks up again, you need a new hub.

Why? Who cares? It's just some stupid sound, it doesn't make it perform better or anything.

He's right. If you REALLY want your bike loud, take a ziptie and put it on your chainstay on the drive side. You'll be able to hear your bike from a the other side of town.
