There is a specific way the bearings have to be placed in there and there is a specific type of Loctite that needs to applied too...hopefully someone here knows the specifics and can walk you through the way the crank and bearings should be done!
Took it back to the shop today and had the mechanic and sales guy ride it. They both said that it performs as it should and didn't hear anything out of the ordinary. I was able to point it out to them a couple times while on the trainer but they didn't think BB. They said it would make more of a creak than the crack/pop sound.
Advice was to keep riding it until it is "broken in." I'll see what happens - If it continues to get worse I guess I'll take it to a different LBS to have it looked at.
