I've used the YST threadless ones before, I think Edinburgh Cycle still sell these. I have seen them sold under a couple of trade names but they are the same. Fairly cheap £15 quidish. You need two shimano type bottom bracket tools to nip them up and it uses a sort of crumple washer on one side rather than the chamfering tool. I have heard others bitch about these but I have been using one on a damaged frame for over a year. Two winters and a tour with no creaks.
This was fitted to a 531 o/s Raliegh MTB frame.
