Yep, that's what I got out of the research - Roguemechanic's "fix" was creative, but struck me as dubious.

I've read that some of the 2011-12 "wave" washers had issues related to the bending spec (some were too weak).

I miss my old 10 speed Record It worked flawlessly and was pretty much "set it and forget it". Makes me wonder if I should just do the 10sp thing - either the '13 Centaur with an -'00-'07 ST BB/crank or a full used group (Record or Chorus).

Edit: My commuter has a Truvativ Stylo / GXP setup and it is dead simple. Seems to me Campy has made their new BB/crank system unnecessarily complex - perhaps to avoid copyright issues?
