What's it going to take for manufacturers to abandon any press fit BB and go back to BSA / threaded? The benefits of press fit are extremely difficult to quantify and the drawbacks related to lack of reliability and clicking problems are well documented and rife. Threaded is simply a better design: more reliable, easier to install.Oh no! Next thing you'll be making note of how much worse the internal headsets are. You must be a ludite!
I'm with you on this. the bb30 is hellish for cyclocross and I own the proper tools, just lack the patience to keep tearing into the thing every week.
And then there's the "easy" solution above, take everything apart and GLUE the damn bearings into your nice expensive bike. That'll fix her!
