    If you've eliminated everything else it might be (pedals, cranks, saddle, seatpost, knees) then yeah, try changing the BB.

    What BB is it and how much action has it seen?

    Park Tool's website has a click-locator guide that can be helpful.

    is it the BB clicking? checked the pedals, arms, chain ring bolts, seat post etc?
