I've cleaned/re-greased it and made sure everything is tightened down. I know a lot of folks move to square taper cranksets because of similar issues. But for those of you that do run GXP, is it worth upgrading to a nicer Hope/Chris King BB or will I have the same issues based on the GXP design? I'm fine with buying a new cheap BB every 1.5k miles or so, just didn't know if theres a permanent solution other than going with a square taper solution.
My S300's clicked as well and it was loose chainring bolts. Tightenwd down and all good. I swapped the stock BB for the SRAM team GXP and it has been going for 2,000+ miles with no issues at all. I bought it from LBS for around $30, but Im sure you can find cheaper. EBay has been known to have ceramic gxp bb's for cheap as well.
