Thanks.
I was afraid that the frame shell may need some repairs. It must have happened removing the stuck bottom bracket that was in before. From memory, it went in fine and was sitting square.
The other bit you've described, kind of makes sense. Although in my last attempts, I only installed the DS and when tightened to a point, the spindle stopped spinning smoothly. Probably because that little 0.5mm threw the angle out a fair bit over the length of the shell.
I have also read about folk installing the DS and NDS simultaneously to try and align it. Although believe this is not recommended!
