UN300 BB died on me two months back (I discovered the issue when chainring started grinding my chainstays..) so changed it out to a secondhand UN55. Unknown vintage but seller seems to not have been the sort to abuse his equipment and BB seemed fine.
Recently changed out cranks from a Miche XPress to a Sugino RD2. Now getting a metallic click in the left pedal every time I switch from front pressure to back. Have swapped out the left pedal (seemed to do it for a bit before the clicking came back), checked for cracks in the crank, retightened BB/cranks (no torque wrench, but pretty damn high torque and I got comfortable before the crank swap), checked spoke tension and front QR.. anything else I'm missing before I blame the BB?
