I was used to sq taper BBs that lasted a long time. The decent Campy BBs lasted a long time.

Is your bb shell faced correctly?

I believe my frame is faced correctly. Note I do ride on bike trails and in some rain so assume this is mostly the problem as sealing may not be as good. I ride a Lynskey R240. Just looking for some tips to extend life if there are any.
