I think the loose bearing models would not need as frequent service if someone could get the frame builders to stop cutting out the bottom of the bottom brackets. I have no real experience with riding in really poor conditions, but on my other bike I have a run of the mill Campy Nouvo record bottom bracket which works fine provided I service it a few times a year with my tube of Phil Wood grease (Phil it up, please...). Still trying to break away from the pack, Jeff Houston Dual Systems (ucbvax,ihnp4,amd70,onyx,zehntel,cbosgd)!dual!jeff
