Shimano QR Hub Cone Adjustment

NB: Originally posted elsewhere on the Global Riders Network and appears via syndication.

Hi all,
Quick question relating to Shimano QR hub cone adjustment.

Do you 1) leave the tiniest amount of play before installation and let the QR compression take it up?
or 2) Adjust the cones to have zero play prior to installation of the QR?

I have been doing No.1 but not sure if there is enough bearing preload being applied. (There is no lateral play in the wheel once installed)

Interested to know anyones thoughts/experience on this one.
