I'm running the 185 bb with my 300 crankset, and I can't get the thing to shut up. When I'm climbing or sprinting (in or out of the saddle) I get a bad clicking noise as the bb is torqued and un-torqued. I know for a fact the the bb is the culprit because the guys at my LBS were able to get it to quiet down by greasing the threading on the non-drive side, but it was only quiet for about 100 miles or so, and has gradually come back. 2 questions:

1) anyone familiar with this being a problem with the 185 bottom bracket? (I'd hope not for $250...)
2) wtf can I do to make the thing quiet for good...teflon tape? blue locktite? overhaul every week?

I'm sick of the noise, can't wait for warranty nightmare (probably not a warranty candidate anyway), and can't throw down another $250....what to do?

Just because it went away when they greased the threads does not mean that the threads were the problem. Keep in mind that they'd have had to take it completely apart to do so and the re-assembly of the crankset could have cured the creak. Check your chainring bolts, your crank arm bolts and your pedal axles (they creak like mad if not properly lubed).

Last time I had a BB that wouldn't shut up, it turned out to be the front skewer.

The time before that, it turned out to be a pedal.

Make sure your skewers are extra tight, and your pedals are tight, greased, and spin free.

Then try greasing and torquing the BB again.

It can be hard to find a click. You can swear you hear it one place, when it's really coming from someplace else.
