Teflon tape on BB threads to relieve that annoying click

posted by Dave on may 01, 1998 at 00:55:27:

I see from this bulliten board that I'm not the only person out there
with a annoying BB click. I happen to own a Road XL and have a brand new
Dura Ace Splined BB. After I installed it, and after approx. 100 miles it
started to click. I dissassembled the BB re-antiseized it (with copious
amounts) and the click went away. After a week it was back!!!

What to do. I've heard plummer's teflon tape does the trick. What does
MERLIN recommend? I've also seen on this bulliten board that one should
NEVER put teflon tape on bikes.

I've read the thread regarding the XLM clicking problems and have pretty
much done what was recommended...to no avail. Please help.

THANKS IN ADVANCE, Dave
