Default Advice needed for cranks that use self-extracting crank bolts for Campy 9 spd

I have bought an S & S coupled frame and need to add a crank that will
easily come off when I want to pack it up. I usually use Campy triple
cranks as I am running Campy 9 spd but I could go compact or some other
brand in a triple if it worked better. I already stripped out a Campy
crank when the add-on self-extracting bolts self-destructed and wiped out
the threads on the crank. Any thoughts about a good way to go that is
reasonably priced? Any triple cranks that come with self-extracting bolts?


I don't think it's a good idea to regularly pull the cranks, no matter
what design. Self-extracting bolts don't help here, either. Such
components are not designed for frequent removal and replacement.
