[Closed] Specialized move away from push fit BB back to threaded?

[url[b]"One detail many people will get on board with is the externally threaded bottom bracket. Press-fit bottom brackets have lost a lot of fans over the years, and Specialized must be applauded for listening to its customers and acting on this feedback."[/b] Is this not a clear admission by specialized that push fit BBs were a bad design and should never have been released. I have had my Praxis BB out of my Diverge Comp Carbon 4 times in a year and it's started ticking again today. I suspect I am not alone in saying that if what a pain push fit BB's are I would have looked around for a different make of bike.

Nah, BB30 is bearing-in-frame, BB92 has a bearing cup etc which is pressed into the frame
