My UT BB creaks. There appears to be no play in the bearings. All of the points where there is metal to metal contact are tight. The cups are lubed on the inside and where they contact the frame. The centre bolt is at the right torque. Pedal creak has been eliminated. IDEAS?

    I've posted on this recently. I took the UT crank apart, cleaned, re-lubed and put it back together and the creaking went away. I concluded its due to the cup-to-bearing interface as the grease wears away.
