I have an as new Campagnolo Record (Super or Nuovo I'm not sure which) bottom bracket I plan on using but the plastic sleave has gone missing. Is this a necessary piece ? If so do LBSs carry something similar ? (doesn't have to be an authentic Campagnolo one for me).
Also when installing a bottom bracket/crankset what's the consensus on what gets greased (and what kind of grease) and what gets lock-tighted... Yes, I know the bearings get greased - I'm inquiring about the threading, tapers...
Thanks !
