I've been having real trouble getting the Sugino 75 loose-bearing BB dialled-in. Does anyone know if there's a knack to it that I'm missing. (Fit the drive-side cup. Grease a set of bearings, drop those in. Add the spindle and the plastic thingy. More heavily-greased bearings, then the adjustable cup. Tighten until too tight, then back off until running smoothly. Apply lockring.)
I find that either I get rattling/grinding or clicking. The only useful advice I've had so far is to have the BB shell re-faced. Any other top tips?
