Why is BB still clicking

[andsaw]

I started to get some clicking and sounded like my headset, so i replaced both headset bearings and even changed stem, still clicking so replaced wheelsmfr adapter bearings, i got new chain and cassette and even tightened up skewers on zonda wheels and play in bearings and still clicking like mad more so when im out of the seat so not seat or post related and when i start to put pressure on the pedals i even regreased bearings on 105 pedals and cleaned threads and regreased, so i have done everything possible, bike is supersix evo, no cracks in the frame, the only thing that hasn't been changed is the crank which is 105, im at a loss as to what to do now, apart from putting loctite 641 between the crank and bearing surface, any more ideas.

Pressfit B.B.? Maybe it needs replacing if greasing isn’t sorting...or converting away from PF if possible

Check the screws on the derailleur hanger are tight.

Faceplate bolts on the stem.

Put some copper grease on the threads and re-tighten, making sure they are torqued evenly.

If you've checked the pedals...have you checked your cleats andsaw ?

I have this one https://wheelsmfg.com/bottom-bracke...om-bracket-for-24mm-cranks-shimano-black.html
Faceplate screws done, even side to side torsion done as that's how i can tell its headset,
All derailleur screws tight,
Cleats as tight as possible.

I had a clicking. It turned out to be my bottle cage which had a crack in it

Pressfit then? I’d replace if a thorough greasing doesn’t shut it up! How many miles on bike

Yes its pressfit but the adapter half's screw together eliminating the pressfit side of things, i always grease up when putting back together.

I thought my bb was clicking but it was the chainring bolts - three of the five were loose. Tightened them up and it's silent again.

also worth putting a drop of oil where each spokes cross, its surprising and annoying how sounds seem to come from one place only to discover it isn't , take a look here for more ideas...

I had clicking for ages and it drove me mad.Then eventually the bottom bracket collapsed.

Clicking mysteriously gone,now.

Pressfit BB, work of the devil. If you think it is the BB it might be worth investigating Praxis conversions:

I have a lezyne flow cage and solid, my last one was a bit flimsy and the bottle used to flap against the downtube when going over bumps that took a while to suss out,
I have a newish 105 crank spare and have bunged that on to try just in case the other one has worn down but won't be able to try until Friday,
I have a praxis converter as well but will leave that to last chance scenario as when fitted wasn't sure if that started to click as that was around the same time my headset was clicking a few years ago and chanced the wheels mfr one and has been great until now.

Try re-tightening the shift levers.
