^^^ that's right, you don't touch the bearings themselves, but it's still important to lube the BB cup well so that the frame is still usable in 12 months' time!

I use lithium white grease on the roadie (take it out once a year anyway) and regular lithium (thick and kinda brown) grease on the MTB - more heavy duty and longer lasting. Never had a BB seize on me yet!
