Campy sez: No.
They made the chain, and they selected the lube...but if the lube has
characteristics that are at odds with what you need in some respect,
there's no law saying that you have to leave the Campy-installed lube
on the chain. Some folks will strip it immediately, and apply a
different lube that may or may not work as well, for a variety of
reasons. It's up to you to determine if you agree with their
rationale for doing so, and if their argument makes a point that is
important to you. It's perfectly possible to have someone present a
completely persuasive case for why they do something a certain way,
and have that argument be entirely irrelevant to the situation of the
person receiving the information. The important thing is to do what
works *for you*, regardless of how anyone else does it.
