I have a Cannondale aluminum frame and a Campy Record (sq taper..sure it's old school but I still think it's the best system). When I install it, I use Park Anti seize compound which is recommended for alum on alum applications, however after 1,500 miles or so it starts to click. Once I remove the bb, clean it and reinstall with some fresh compound the click goes away... but it returns again. Does anyone have a compound they use to install bb's that lasts longer than what is generally a third of a season for me? I have used loctite blue, and although it lasted a little longer, it eventually dried up and the removal was much more difficult than with the anti seize. I have other friends that use plumbers tape and swear by it (never tried it and am skeptical). I would appreciate any advice. My main concern is that there are only so many times you can remove the soft alloy cups of a Record BB before it becomes stripped. But a clicking bb is like slow death too...
