I may let this BB go until it turns to crap, then look at an upgrade of the BB and crankset.
Well that's an option. So long as the cranks are in decent shape, you could just replace the BB for very little money. Once you decide t0 get a new crankset, including the corresponding BB doesn't add appreciably to the cost. For example, on Amazon right now you could get a very nice Ultegra crankset for 200-250 bucks and the corresponding BB would run under 30.00.
