Haha, yeah. Bad mechanical skills in the way i wielded my money when I bought the bikes.
They creaked from the factory-installed BBs after not many miles; nobody should have to do anything to a new bike to stop it creaking, and BBs should last many thousands of miles before going rough/developing play. If they creak a bit then, then fair enough I suppose.
Given how minuscule (actually unmeasurable) the ‘advantage’ of press-fit is over threaded it’s just bad design/engineering.
