I wondered if I just needed to man up a bit and bring down my full manly wrenching abilities, but before I did that, I emailed Surly to get a green light. Good thing I did, the rep emailed back and basically said: "DON'T DO THAT. You most likely have the wrong size and will damage the threads if you force them." Whew....close call.So, the rest of the bummer is that I had to order them online, pay $4 a piece, and $10 for stinking shipping. Almost $30 later, just to hang my brakes. And the brakes are another story entirely...but I'll save that for another post.
So far this year I've ridden:
418 miles.

I'm thinking about building a 29'er sometime in the future and while surfing around found your blog. I was curious about your frame fit...how tall are you and what's yor frame size I was looking at the Surly website and believe I can fit either a medium or large frame...I'm 6'1" with a 36" PBH (pubic bone height). It seems I'm right at the end of medium, and the beginning of large.
Looks like you have a nice build going there. I'm currently building up a Rivendell Rambouillet which is in the latter stages, just need a stem and I can finish up.

Hey man, I would love to see some pics of the final product and how it went. THanks.
You can have my bosses if you want them. from my KM...
