Overhauled my Hatta bottom bracket to deal with some light pinging that I suspected to be coming from there. Replaced the old caged balls with some fresh loose ones, and now everything seems to be smooth and quiet.
BUT, my god, that Hatta lockring. It's so soft that the slightest amount of pressure causes the notch walls to melt away. Not sure I'll be able to make it through another cycle of removal and installation without shelling out for the Hozan pliers.
