	I have had an EDCO sealed bearing bottom bracket on my road
	racing bike for the last 2 years - covering aprx 20,000 miles
	and have not needed any maintanence at all, it seems to be
	the most trouble free part of my cycle.  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...).
