Following on from the issues i recently had with my previous miche BB http://www.londonfgss.com/thread19544.html i temporrarily installed a cheap shimano BB to tide me over till the replacement miche turned up at my LBS.
the shimano wasn't great and the chainline was way out so decided to reinstall a miche despite my previous problems (the bb is english threaded incidently)
the issue i'm having now is that although the previous miche BB stuck out a few mm drive side, this one now needs to stick out even more and has reached a point where in order for my drive side crank to clear the chainstay the bb has to be shifted over quite alot to the drive side.
this then means the non drive side crank is right up against the BB shell
as it is the drive side crank just about clears the chainstay but everytime i accelerate the crank flexes and knocks the chainstay which is really pissing me off.
the frame is a dolan pre cursa with no history of collisions and miche advanced cranks and chainring. totally confused as to why i'm now having problems with a setup that was fine initially
any help would be really appreciated
