damn. rowr...

as to being too tight... what i meant by 'snug' is just tight enough so there's no slack. (i feel what benny is saying). when track standing, it's a smooth back and forth, no play between the two movements. if that's 'too' tight, then i guess i should just throw away my chain, hub, bb. I'm just saying that your stressining to hard on the issue. if it's binding, then it's too tight, and i loosen it up. we all ride, and i think we've become smart enough at some point, to know what works... and that's what seems to work for me!
just trying to share the love.
