Thanks Tejanotrackie. I actually think the Sugino 75 BB bearing recepticals haold 11 on each side. I also think the cups can't hold more that 11.

I just went back to the shop & pulled the arms off the spindle. Wrench them down a little harded when re-installing them & the chainring now spins straight.

Gonna put it all together when I get home & give it all a chance to set in together. See if the BB still sounds "loose".

thanks for all the info guys,

Probably, but can you read it?

Well, got it all together & went for a spin. Smooth as butter & seems silent! Chainline is perfect as well! Had a blast. My legs are not strong enough to keep it from wanting to run down hill but I'm getting a brake so no biggie. Thanks for all the info you guys gave me on this. I really appreciate it. There will be a pic in the Surly pic thread very soon!

Get a front brake immediately and don't ride it on the road again until you do so! Nobody can control a fixed gear downhill with their legs alone. You risk high-siding and extensive injuries.

I'm happy everything worked out for you. Sugino 75 is great stuff and will last a lifetime. Enjoy. :)

I'm trying to figure out which brake to purchase right now. I'm definitely not into injuries.
