Yes correct the creak proof, thread together version of the Wheels Mfg BB is what I'm looking at. I would think that all you have to do to get to one side (hopefully that's all you need to access your cabling, and I may have this issue as well) is to remove the NDS cup.

The issue with constantly pressing bearings in IS why I want to go this route as well as better bearing alignment in general and squeak elimination. Its funny I have BB86 on my 2012 Giant Defy Advanced as well and it has never ever made a peep even after getting caught in several downpours. This Warbird is creaking away after less than 1,000 miles.

From a mechanical standpoint the twisting of the cups in and out is causing no more wear than pressing them in...I wouldn't worry about that at all.
