You have been nothing but helpful and I am glad that you asked so many questions because it gives me confidence that no detail was missed!

Great! Haha. One thing that you mentioned in your last post that I have NOT yet looked into is the connection between the BB and the face of the bb shell. Hopefully I can tear into my bike again tomorrow.
I have never loved a bike more than this one and the fact that Surly no longer makes it (they changed the geo and went to 27.5 wheels) means that I really want to fix this issue but I CAN NOT STAND LISTENING TO THE CLICK 15 MILES A DAY FIVE DAYS A WEEK!
