For everybody's information, if you seek the closest equivalent to old white
Campy grease, Gipiemme grease is quite similar. Bike dealers can order it
through Torelli, who get it when their source sees fit to ration it to them.
In many peoples' experience, continual grease injection of components hasn't
been a good thing as Campy NR pedal and hub dustcaps become kind of
backwaters full of dirty grease that can filter down into bearing areas. A
good hub or pedal repack really needs to include cleaning the dustcaps.
