Cool. You are an enlightened man to know how to quiet the dreaded BB30 creak. If good with Loctite and angular contact bearings you are good to go and don't have to spring for the more pricey Praxis sleeve. I would do the same as you btw. BB30 can be effectively tamed with Loctite and angular contact bearings which is a very cost effective solution as well. No reason to pay $90 for a sleeve...versus 1/2 that for ABEC-5 angular contact bearings and bottle of loctite.
