Wait-- that BB should be covered under warranty. The OEM Truvativ Giga Pipe in my Lemond is covered by a one-year warranty. Unless they can make a case for abuse the component is covered by either the bike manufacturer or the component manufacturer.

If you didn't "abuse" your BB and the manufacturer representative (the bike shop where bought the bike) won't honor the warranty then take it up with the component manufacturer.

Oh... and DID you take a pressure washer to your bike?
