    So is it the design of the press fit bb that causes the short life span or is it normal for the bb to need replacing after 5 months?

    No experience personally but press fit do appear to be made of cheese from what I have seen

    The link above will only suit pf bb30 not pf to suit 24mm axels the only issue with using them is that made of plastic they require much less torque to fit the actual bb.

    Edit

    My bad Just checked I see that the white is pf bb30 so the above product will work with care.
