I still think track bolts are better for SS regardless of what Riv says, if you use a QR then get the Surly Tuggnut otherwise get a bolt on with a Surly Jethro Tulle; never any slippage problems. The forces are a little greater since there is no derailleur to absorb some of the force applied during pedaling.
