New bb was installed about 3 weeks ago which seems like the obvious culprit but it spins a LOT better than my old one (it was so fucked it locked up whilst I was riding in an alleycat and caused me to skid and nearly take out the person following me), trousers rolled up as standard. Chainline is spot on, when the chain is taken off and I just spin the rear wheel it spins round for fucking ages and smoothly as well. The chain has always been a bit noisy but I don't know what to put that down to?
