We're seeing fewer bikes with creaky PF BB's than ones without problems, but they still creep up. One thing about a bike that has a review period of 2-3 months instead of 6 or more, is that things like that don't often pop up right away. We can't long term test every bike, obviously, but we also don't publish reviews of bikes that were only ridden 10 times. The Remedy I referenced above has been with us for almost a year now and while I've certainly ridden other bikes as well over that period, I've ridden it the most and that bike is still as quiet as it was on day one.
Anyway, I think you're right that it isn't as bad as it used to be, but it's still an issue for sure.
