I convert all my press-fits to Wheels angular bearings. They are heavier than press-fits but I figure I can rely on them and replace them ... more so than with press-fits.
However, press-fit seems to have overcome most of its initial issues with poor fit, varying rates of expansion, etc. and ar no as reliable as any other BB standard, while being both stronger and lighter than most.
The statements that were labeled as subjective (and I paraphrase) were "Steel is funner" and "I'd rather have...."
It was not at all a matter of contest that those are subjective opinions.
I have absolutely nothing of interest to say about bearings because I know nothing about the subject, but those were not the statements that were labelled as "subjective".
