From what I understand, they've addressed the tolerance issues w the newer hubs, so if it is under warranty, maybe you can exchange it.

What do your bearing caps look like when they are on? How tight are they?

If the sound you hear is better characterized as "groaning" than "clicking", there are several possible sources. The spokes rubbing against each other is one. I have not found lubrication to be effective for this but it can be remedied with nylon spacers (unfortunately you can't buy these but must make your own) or by soldering the spokes together. A loose spline joint is another source. You can test this. See my YouTube OneFreeBrain videos "Unicycle Equipment Suggestions" and "Make a High-Torque Gear Puller Stabilizer".
