Doesnt this just place a screwed together sleeve inside a smooth cylinder? There would still be the issue of the screwed together sleeve rubbing against the smooth cylinder in places and therefore making creaking noises due to loose tolerances.
...or am I not envisioning these screw together solutions correctly?

I have only ever used threaded BBs and have never looked into the workarounds needed for PF/BB30/etc etc so how I envision this working may not be accurate.
