Great looking...shifts easy

Chainring making nasty noise ( small ring makes creaking/popping noises/feeling) but big ring is fine....weird

I purchased this to replace a wornout crankset on my 09 RH. It has lasted 300 miles, but I have had some issues. I have burnt through 3 GXP bottom brackets in that time, and am thinking either this thing is bent ( it is a good chance as I started out at 308lbs and am now at 260lbs) or something else is going on. I also think that the small chainring is toast, or loose, as I am getting some nasty creaking/popping sounds only on the small ring.

I have upgraded to a Chris King bottom bracket as many reviews have put the GXP bb at the bottom of the list. I should have gone with a DH crank maybe?
