Did the 2mm spacer come with the bottom bracket? If not a 2mm spacer in affect changes your BB shell width to 70mm; since the lockring has a lip around the end, it will be 2mm short of bottoming out. So even though the BB feels tight now, it may loosen up on you later. Best bet is to use a lockring without a lip
