possibly spiders inside the shell.
put a couple of conkers in and see if it stops (apparently spiders don't like conkers).0 -
new bike?
take it back for adjustment."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

Not being funny, but are you absolutely sure it is the bottom bracket - I've had a similar experience and it's turned out to be............the saddle! As you're weight shifts when pedalling some saddles can creak just like a bottom bracket - happens to those of us of a more "generous" build :oops:0

hope this helps. i had a squeak and a creaking sound that i thought was coming from my bottom bracket . but it turned out to be a cracked bash guard . when i tightened the bolts it opened the crack very slightly and the noise stopped. 15 quid to replace and i was very happy and lucky. 45 quid for a new BB . alex0
