Campy Ultra Torque BB cups - cardboard "washer" - does it stay or go?
Hey-
I don't see any mention of this in Campy's instructions. Does the cardboard white washer get removed before crank install, or is it part of the design and required? Anyone know?

No cardboard in the BB, just a steel wave washer.

I have the newest BB86 cup adapters and they came with white "cardboard" washers. I think they may be a seal? Looks like these (mine are push in though)...

I actually just saw an installation video from a dude in England. He mentioned to be careful of the fragile white "seals" against dirt and dust. So, I guess they are seals that should stay.
