There have been lots of threads about press-fit BB issues. I think in the end most of the time it was poor installation causing the noise.
I do not yet have my press-fit BB bike. I ordered a new frame and am planning the other purchases I need to make.

Do press-fit frames eventually wear out from BB changes? I am trying to make the best decision up front.
