  1. Have a new(2004) Cannondale R-800 road bike. This is my first
    road bike and I like it very much. However, I have had creaking
    and clicking in my bottom bracket for the last 3 months. The bike is only 6 months old. My LBS can't seem to find anything wrong
    on 2 different visits. The bottom bracket is a Truvativ ISIS splined
    model & the crankset is also a TruVativ Elita SL double 39/53.
    I've thought of upgrading to a FSA Team Issue Carbon but am open to suggestions regarding this crank and bottom bracket. Any thoughts or opinions on the Truvativ system ???

    If it really is the BB,have the idiots changed it out for another one? Have they actually taken it out,greased the threads,and possibly used some teflon tape on them? Or are they just lookin at it and pickin their nose and giving you the big..D'oh? You giveno indication as towhat's been actually done.It should be under warranty. Kick some butt and get it fixed.

  3. Go to another shop.

    Have them take the BB out and wrap the BB threads a few times with teflon tape and reinstall. That usually does it.

    What happens is with time the BB an frame threads start to rub against each other.

    We do this here all the time and it works 90% of the time.

    them your suggestion. Appreciate the help.
