I'm having some trouble with chainline too. I was wondering how much of it is to do with how far the crank is pushed on to the BB taper. I tightened the bolt fairly hard but I've no idea how you're supposed to know when it's 'right'. Is there any
chance of stripping the thread or should I just go as hard as I can with an adjustable spanner that's about 170mm long?
