OK, think I have this solved, but not 100% happy with the fix.
Stuck a 2.5mm spacer on the driveside of the bottom bracket and can now shift perfectly into my lowest gear with no catching. I tried to put a 2.5mm spacer on the left hand side, but there isn't enough for the cap to catch the threads inside the cranks.
I'm just not sure how this will effect riding over distance, being slightly over to the right of the bike? Anyone had experience of this sort of thing?
... I guess I just need to do a decent length ride and test it...
I've emailed Look to see if they have any spare front derailleur hangers laying about I can try and machine into the right position, as that would be the prefect fix... Waiting on a reply.
