I called around and found a dealer willing to do warranty work on it. I wasn't expecting to get the bike back until after Christmas, but when I got there, he asked me if I had a few minutes. I said sure, and in less then 5 minutes he had my BB replaced. The one he pulled off had a crack in the shell. When I would push down on a pedal, the crack would try to slide and then pop free causing a clicking/clunking noise and movement of the crank.
was the crack in the threaded part of the main body, or the separate plastic (maybe) other side screw in thingee? Just curious.
I had a click develop in a square taper a few years ago, and taking the bb out, cleaning and regreasing liberally the threads and reinstalling solved the click, and that bb ended up lasting (in total) of at least 10 years of commuting and such--so all in all maybe 15-20,000Km or more.
