Recently I built a pair of NOS campy pista wheels. The hubs still spun very smooth so I did not bother to repack them. However, a friend of mine told me that I should make a point to repack them with regular grease because that super expensive white campagnolo butter is not meant to be used on wheels which are ridden very often (and I will be riding these almost every day). Is this a cycling urban legend? Lie? Or actually true. It seems plausible only because everything cycling seems so specifically engineered.
