Okey Dokey, today's dumb question - Campagnolo UT crankset maint recommendation

[Tom]

Campagnolo says open it up, clean it out grease it up and slap it back together every 2500 miles or so, earlier if you ride in the rain or even on a dewy morning. For real? Just curious if this is over conservative, I'm doing it anyway.

Upon second thought, why am I asking this question? The answer isn't going to change what I'm doing, I guess I'm just curious to find out what people with a little experience with these things have discovered. The only reason I guess I'd change what I do is if their recommendation is way conservative and the less I monkey with the thing the less chance I break something.

Donation incoming to make up for stupid question.

They say 4,000 to 6,000 kilometers. Why, yours crunchy? Run em'. You should pull the cups out once or twice a season if you ride in wet weather but I'd leave the bearings alone unless you are having a problem.

I haven't touched my Record11 UT crankset since I installed it a year ago. It has around 6K miles on it, 3K this year since April. It had a Centaur UT crankset that was three years old that felt absolutely smooth when I pulled it out. It saw 10K plus miles and never gave me a problem. I'm 6'2" and 220-230 pounds, if anyone was going to have a problem it would have been me. To be fair, the brown bike doesn't purposely see any bad weather. My all weather commuter has a PW stainless bb with heavy duty bearings for my PNW commute.
