2) Use "track" chain ring bolts. They are made of steel as opposed to the standard aluminum
3) When you turn an apple into an orange (read: convert a road bike to a fixed gear) it's normal to have "issues". If you can, get a frame that's designed to be fixed with proper dropouts and spacings.
4) Don't stop the Body Rock!
