Thanks for the suggestions (and @edscoble).

Too much preload?

(Sorry for the probably obvious question) you mean preload on the cranks? I'll give this a try for sure.

You haven't whacked spacers on it when you shouldn't have?

I don't think so, actually I didn't fit the BB as I didn't have the tool at the time so took it to my LBS.

The black plastic thing on the end of the left crank.

They need to be slightly tight, just to reduce the play before tightening the two M5 bolts to 14Nm.

👍 Thanks, will check it’s not too tight

tightening the two M5 bolts to 14Nm.

14Nm is pretty spicy for HT2 cinch bolts🙂
Even allowing for the fact that they're M6 not M5, 14Nm is about the upper limit for high tensile CrMo M6, and cranks are aluminium
