Yes. Factory grease is the way to go. unopened and original down to the grease. i look for old campy parts as such. hubs that were built into wheels but never opened up. perfect. now what to do when the old campy factory grease gets tired? inject a similar grease and let the old work itself out thru the injection process? what grease is compatible with the old campy butter? i wonder what happens when a grease like phil wood is injected into old original greased campagnolo pedals? do the two lubes completely destroy oneanother? or just turn in to muck that makes the component need a total overhaul before pitting ensues?
