a number of wrong assumptions in this post are addressed in my reply above and in the text of the original post. The ad hominem remarks will be ignored. However, as to the loctite issue: Campy's instructions call (in microscopic print) for 222, but some of the bearing cups (I used 3 different sets) come with their own locking compound (tacky yellowish bead) pre-applied. Obviously, one uses both at one's own peril, as subsequent disassembly will be difficult. As for the thoughts about grease: the bearing cups are designed to be a slip fit on the bearings, and grease has no place there and will only be displaced upon assembly. Where threads are concerned, grease is the enemy of all loctite compounds.
