So far, I've replaced the rear hub and the chain. I suppose pulling out and greasing the bottom bracket is my next step.
Try the cheap thinks first, like removing the pedals, clean threads, grease reinstall.
Depending on the type of bottom bracket, it might be unserviceable, but you could at least remove, clean threads, grease, re install.
I assume the click could be coming from the cleats, so perhaps try riding around without cleated shoes.
