second. A BB30 is like the easiest bb to install and the cure for creaking has been known for years. People get creaking due to bad mechanics or bad factory assembly. but loctite 609 or 641 will take care of the problem. Other than the need for loctite I really can't see a problem with it
True. But let's say bad mechanics are the norm and not the exception. Proof is...just look at some youtube videos of bike repairs....more hacks than talented wrenches. For those, a threaded BB is easier to set up. But I agree, nothing wrong with BB30...simple in its essence, provided it is installed properly..big if for many...and lots of hack shops that don't give a crap if your bike creaks.
