Mine had a bit of play at first. I added a bit of blue loctite to help and never had a problem after that. It was alot cheaper as well when I bought one from surly in 2004. I didn't realize they are $80 now. I see them as an easy way to make a casette hub into a fixed gear with out having to dish/(re)built a wheel. When I wanted to try fixed gear riding I knew nothing about wheel dishing or building and the fixxer was the easiest solution to this problem. Just attach and go really. Still, too bad about the cost.
