"Fat old piece of steel"? You're talking about 150g bolts included for a large disc, aka <1shit. Also it's no secret that those who grind their rims every month or so inevitably reduce the life of the rim.

Tighten + loctite the BB cups (both sides). As said previously, grease the splines and tighten the crank bolts HARD. If it still creaks then get a new BB. You don't want a BB to break on you, it's almost as bad as a chain going.

Discs are less likely to get covered in water/crap when riding natty and you would be able to run thinner/lighter rims with discs and rim grinding would become unnecessary.

Hello TF! Let me start off by saying that I am a returning member who used to waste his time on here back in 2004-2008. Anyway I have recently got back into trials (currently unemployed so guess who has time on his hands) and I fixed my old bike back together after having left it alone since 2008 (I am rockin' a 2004 pitbull). So anyway I have a few questions: For those guys who have been riding for a decent amount of time (say 2years+), can you static jump (on foot I mean and with no run up) slightly lower, about the same or higher than you can sidehop? The reason I ask is because both my sidehop and my static jump without a bike is about the same height and I was wondering if this was indeed the limiting factor. Secondly, I have noticed that everybody is riding a high BB rise nowadays! What happened there? My pitbull I think has 00mm or maybe +10mm BB rise at the absolute most and this was totally normal back when long low and silver roamed the streets. What advantage does this high-rise BB confer, if any?
