now, before i put the record on i thought i'd check and see
if this is a common complaint with ultegra octalink, and if
it's at all curable without resorting to method (1) above every

I have a Utelgra 9 sp tripple in my Litespeed. I've had some noise in
the BB, cured with Teflon(r) tape. I do grease the splines, but I tend
to grease everything as a matter of course. No other noises I've
noticed.

With all the broken crank threads lately, I'd take a really close look
at that crank arm.
