I stand by my original statement. If you're trying to fix a creaky BB30, loctite is the best and cheapest way to do it. I'm sure it won't work for every frame/bearing set, but it works a lot better (and lasts a lot longer) than just regreasing, and if you use the right loctite and apply properly, you won't have any problem removing the bearings when you want to. If you try it and it doesn't work, you can always go buy new bearings at that point.
+1, that seems to be the problem with those that haven't been shown how to properly use Loctite products. I use their website for choosing the correct Loctite product for the application, too many people use a red level agent and then strip out an expensive part trying to break the bond meant to be removed using heat or more torque than the part was designed for.
I
do agree with your statement on being the best way for BB and PF 30 that are creaking to be properly installed or repaired, I just didn't want anyone to think I was stating that the tech doc was something that Cannondale was requiring for warranty compliance. If I seemed to be implying that you were disrespectful, I apologize, that certainly wasn't intended by me. Ride Lots.
