I have a 2019 Spark RC 900 Pro.
Different class bike except for the poxy creaking BB, anyone recommend a replacement for the standard Shimano that it came with please?
Do CK or Hope do something that fits and is decent?
I know press fit are prone to creaking but it’s driving me mental.
Thanks.
What size press fit BB and what size crank spindle?
There are many variations.
Yes, Hope do one to fit and I’m running it (silently) on my Spark RC WC.

wheels manufacturing do a thread together if you dont have the tools to press, or they do a press fit too.
Most PF issues seem to be down to frames not being to spec (i.e. BB shells not aligned or not round / correct size). Your best bet is a screw together one (e.g. Wheels Manufacturing as above) or single piece one (e.g. Hambini custom - costly!).
After my Shimano one seized it was a toss up between a Hope or Wheels Manufacturing screw together. The Hope won the day as it could be delivered sooner and have no problems or creaks since it was fitted. I bought the proper tool for the installation which made it a simple process.
