PF BB's are one of the least offensive/problematic "innovations" that has come
along lately. You can convert most cranks to a PF bike without buying anything
new. In the field I haven't seen any significant problems with PF BBs. I hear
lots of negative comments about PF BB's from years before the current crop.
And everyone seems to have amensia about the problems they had with threaded
BBs as if they never failed or creaked.
The only hassle is you need new tools to install/remove them. After several
years on PF BB bikes it's not something that would bother me either way when
buying new.
Now if SC had called bullshit on Boost…now that would have been something both
useful and courageous.
