I grease the BB spindle tapers prior to installing the crank arms;

Dunno, maybe my Sam Hillborne has a personality. Or at least a

Eric,
Why are the cranks beyond repair?

Well, it may have been too much grease on the spindle. Quite a bit

Reinstalled the Sugino this morning. Wiped all the grease off the
spindle and off the crankarms. Torqued down to recommended. Then
went riding. Including some hills that were grunt up quality

Back in the day when I was a bit too anal about weight, we had

One way of looking at this: regardless of the fault (frame, tire,
wheel, rider) the severity of the failure (almost guaranteed crash)
will keep me well clear of carbon spokes.
I've got nothing against Mavic, I have their aluminum rims on three of
