The arrow on the bottom plate should face forward. I'll take a few pictures of mine and post them today. Your LBS should be able to check the bottom bracket clicking. Mine had some clicking that the LBS improved by re-torquing the bottom bracket, but that didn't completely fix the noise. I replaced the cheap Shimano BB100 bottom bracket (with plastic housing that just didn't seem to be sturdy enough) with an older all-steel Shimano bottom bracket I had in my parts bin. That completely fixed the noise. One of these days, I'll get around to putting a new bottom bracket in it.
