My SRAM XI cranks recently started making a clunking sound under hard pedaling, but only on the right side. So, If I pedal normal cruising speed, I may or not get a sound, but if I am pedaling hard (any gear) I will get a loud clunking sound, but only when pedaling hard on the right side, if that makes sense

What BB? A lot of SRAM GXP bottom brackets fail early and make a loud popping sound.

It is a SRAM GXP BB, but this one has maybe 50 miles on it

Any suggestions on a better GXP BB?

I check for BB and crank installation problems. Chain ring bolts tight, crank arm bolt torqued, pedals tight, no wobble when pulling/pushing inward/outward on the crank arms. Check the rear triangle and suspension pivots. If that all checks out, I'd pull the crank and inspect the BB.

Did you check to make sure you don't have a slightly bent or smashed tooth on the chain ring?

I checked all that stuff, I even changed out the chainring (something I wanted to do anyway) No luck.... So I went ahead and ordered a new BB. Went with a different brand. I post here after it's swapped to see if it made the difference
