New Bottom Bracket ON!

Well I received my order from Nashbar.com for the new BB6601 Shimano Ultegra SL Bottom Bracket and Tifosi Glasses.  I bought the Tifosi's because my other riding glasses are too small for my NOSE.  No surprise to anyone who knows me.  They are quite large, and fit nicely. I changed to the Orange lenses as I am going to ride tonight near dusk.  I also installed a new BB, an Ultegra Sl version of the Ultegra I had already on.  I bought it cheaply, mostly to match the color scheme of my bike, as the SL is icey grey...NICE.  They disappear into the frame.  I had a tough time getting the old ones out as I starting the right side the wrong way, but it came out eventually.  I used web grease to install them, and it sticks to everything.  I used it because I could not find my Phil Wood grease.  I figured the BB would be a good place for this stuff as it seals better and might lube longer in the BB than phil. 
Going out for a group ride tonight at 6pm.  Have to call Dave to get the route so I can put it on my Garmin.  Hope I can hang onto the B group tonight.
