I've been reliably informed that greasing BB spindles (& no matter how hard you tighten your cranks) causes a tiny layer of grease between spindle and crank, leading to small amounts of play that can lead to cranks loosening more easily and possibly causing failure. Also don't Campag have a history of shoddy cranks?
