PF 30 Bottom Bracket advice please.

considering BB/PF30

is it just adapting to 24mm cranks that creaks, or are stock BB/PF30 also creak-happy?

It's pretty well known industry wide that virtually every press fit bb that does not thread together in some manner means there is much higher probability of creaking

and now the very latest new "standard" is.....threaded BB

Here is the Kogel. As you can see the part that makes contact with the shell is much longer. Increase in weight, but increase in contact area also cuts down on the creaking.

If you have that much shell to make contact with. My Workswell 066 has only as much shell surface as you find on a normal PF30 BB. So more surface on the BB wouldn't matter on that shell. It would just be hanging out in space.
