Default Campagnolo Record 10sp : can I reuse the crank arm bolts?

hi all,

I have 2005/6 Campagnolo Record Group -- I install the crank/crank arms once and used torque ratchet to tighten ( so I know I did not over/under tighten the bolts). My question is that I am now building out a new bike with that record group and want to know if its OK/safe to reuse the two crank arm bolts?

I think I remember reading in the bentley manual that is not good to reuse the crank arm bolts.

looking at the bolts, they seem to be in good shape... no stress marks, threads are good and they still have some of the blue locktite substance on the threads...

Unless they look rusted or stripped, I would re-use them. Once the cranks are installed onto the square spindle and have been sufficiently tightened, the bolts don't really bear the load.

Certainly reuse them. They are steel afterall. Grease on the bolt threads and in between the washers. Onto a dry spindle to torque(26-28 ft-lbs).
