Installed a Chris King road bottom bracket on my Surly Cross Check.....

Used one metal spacer per bearing cup as it gave me the best looking chainline. Most applications are 2 spacers on drive side, one on the other? non-drive?

Did not use the thin plastic spindle spacers at all. Didn't use them before, didn't see the need now.

**The Problem**

When I tighten the cranks down (Bontrager GXP) the BB becomes VERY stiff w/ only a few pounds of pressure.

Any ideas?

Thanks a bunch.
