IT LIVES!! bb arrived today and i thought id give it a go, put it in and installed the crank to see how much play there was with no spacers or anything, there was very little, i added two wave washers and it was very solid no play and spun perfectly, ive been out on a test ride and all seems perfect, shifts fine no play in the cranks or bb all seems fine but only a few more rides will tell. im blown away by the thing it just seems to go off like a rocket when you put the power down, definatley needs a longer stem maybe quite abit longer but otherwise it is perfect.
as for the seatpost i changed bolts and it seemed to help a heck of alot and a tiny sachet of tacx paste came in the post to get me by until the park stuff arrives ( already overdue) and it has only slipped slightly on the first ride so i am rather happy. thanks to everyone for the suggestions and help!
