But it is not good enough for you, because your main purpose is not to solve your problem but to complain about it. Your second purpose seems to defend the bike shop that despite its best efforts is not doing the job for you. What is the upside of that? You know what they say is the definition of crazy right? Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Well, carry on.
Yep, you're right, I'm new to the forum. Welcomed with open arms and love.

With great knowledge comes great responsibility ... keep your arrogance in check. You can be the world-leading expert on BB, but if you're condescending when communicating this knowledge .... well nobody's going to listen to you.

And the 'same thing over and over ...' thing, well, that's not my bike or LBS, since I've only had one BB failure with 10 bikes they service for me over 15 years. But I'm responding to you repeatedly (like this post right here) expecting we can have a respectful dialog. Yep, I'm clearly insane. I've had more respectful dialog with the neighborhood tweaker.

I'd like to say it's been fun, but that'd be a lie.
