Is the Ritchey BB JIS?

JWestland in reply to @Screwball

It's ISO I doublechecked, it's an old MTB one, ProLogic in 109 width.

I also have a Gran Mighty ISO crankset on a Miche JIS with 0 problems.

All it takes is for to have been incorrectly installed once (too tight or too loose). The crank material is much softer than the BB spindle so will deform away from the ideal shape very easily.

Once that happens it's bin time.

Are you using a torque wrench?

Threadlok and 50 nm might be worth a try.
