Ticking/creaking noise coming form my BB?

Hi Have recently built my bike back up on a new frame, and before I put the BB (Truvativ GXP) back on I cleaned and re lubed it. I've done less than 200 miles since the build, and it's started to tick and creak without applying much pressure to the crank at all.

Is it on it's way out, or am I doing something wrong when putting it back in?

Thanks,

Steve

    On it's way out but will probably be ok, if noisy, for a while. Start saving up though (mine's going too :( )
