Nothing against Campagnolo, really, love their brifters, love how they made the whole system shift nicely (Shimano got it right in 2nd go with 10 speed, and with 11 speed road), and the design is lovely as well.
I've been riding only Campagnolo equipped Italian steel frames since the early '80s. My BB method is: grease on the threads of the cups, dry tapers, one drop of blue locktite on the crank bolts and everything torqued to Campy's specs. I've never had a cup unscrew or a crank arm come loose. Let me add, I have a C-Record era Chorus crankset that has over 70,000 miles on it and is still in use.
