Re: You might want to consider replacing the inner bearing too, as whilst it's not as vulnerable as the outer bearing, it does wear over time. The only problem with that is that the lower bearing is retailed by a c-clip that is not easy to remove - there are ways to do it which are fairly...

Re: The problem is that there were / are a lot of makers of diver's helmet gear cable stops and consequently, no real "standard" for internal diameter. They are normally around 4 mm / 3/16" Additionally it might have been drilled out, or otherwise butchered at some point, either pre- or...

Re: Re: Got it - makes sense now :-) Happy to assist!

Re: Hello and happy New Year to you! This looks like a bog-standard cup-and-cone hub, if it's the same as the ones in the link you gave to Hilary Stone's web site - the fact that it is a rear only makes a difference in so far as the spacers that sit on the gear side need to be correct for the...

Re: Hello - to be clear, what are you trying to do - if you have 9 / 10 speed hubs that are worn out, why would you want to convert to 8s? The 8s cassette will actually fit into a 9 / 10 / 11 hub with a spacer behind it, although it does need for the lockring to be done up TIGHT. Alternatively...

Re: Re: Might work for you but in different circs might not work. Also depends on how you define "work" ... There are cases where apparently incompatible parts can be made to work ..if its a late 90s shifter, the cable spool may be the older diameter with a different click to click cable...

Re: The pictured Veloce rear gear is 10s and shares actuation ratios with both 9s made since 2000 as 10s. It will work fine with your 9s levers so long as the cable runs are not too convoluted and the levers are in good condition in terms of their indexing. The levers can wear internally...

There is a good table, from a past copy of Record News here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/stronglig ... 05/detail/ Reference the "Technical Support 1982" document, which gives axle dimensions and compatibilities. There is also one in Sutherlands Handbook for Cycle Mechanics vol. 6 which is...

Ah, therein lies your problem, the 1049s used an assymetric axle. That the Mirage cranks sit on it OK doesn't really signify ... They should as if the BB is contemporary with the cranks, they were designed to work together & post-date Campag's adoption of the ISO BB taper standard on all but...

Well, I was born in the early 60s :-) Part of what I do for Campag is writing technical advice for users so I have just got used to trying to make sure I don't miss anything - don't want to be liable for a rear derailleur going into the spokes because of missing something out that I thought was...

Re: Worth noting (more in passing as it's not strictly relevant to the OPs problem) that the Campag BBs of that era were not true ISO - the tapers themselves are a fraction longer than a true ISO so you have to be careful about mounting 1049s to a straight ISO BB, especially if you think they...

Re: Well, it's a risk and the fitting method that I gave for 8s cassettes is designed to reduce that risk - but yes, the small contact area between sprocket spline and the valley in the casette body can be a problem. If depends on quite a lot of factors. First and foremost is lockring...

Re: Re: The only ExaDrive 8s that won't fit are the (comparatively rare) Record Ti variants. The limiting factor here is not will the new sprockets fit the old bodies, where the depth of the valleys in the body is a limiting factor but will the 8s cassettes fit the current bodies, where the...

Re: Hi guys - The definitive answer is this - you can: 1, Fit an 8s cassette to the deep spline body directly, using a spacer behind the cassette so that the lockring is actually locking against the top sprocket. In this case we advise that the cassette as a whole is assembled, the lockring...

The original self-extractors would work but if the threads are FUBAR you have to be able to get them to thread in first ...

Re: Cyclus make a kit for re-threading the extractor threads in the event of damage. AFAIK it's only the LH crank that had a LH thread (no, I can't say why, if that is so) but I suspect that using the Cyclus kit to fit an oversize RH thread helicoil both sides would get you out of trouble. The...

Re: Re: The problem is that the 10s cable bushing / ratchet that is needed to convert what we believe to be 1st version Campagnolo ErgoPower was never made for commercial use. Campagnolo made some very special parts for the Telekom team but the old-shape lever 10s internals were never...

Re: Yes, they can. We have the parts in stock to do it. Please PM? Graeme Velotech Cycling Ltd Campagnolo main UK Technical and Service Centre

Re: LHS, FH-RE006 x 9 x 1/4" grade 25 or better RHS, FH-RE004 x 10 x 7/32" grade 25 or better Hope that helps!

Re: I don't think I'd be dragged off down too many dark corridors by the Campagnolo drop-outs - although Raleigh used Campagnolo dropouts, they used a lot of others too, and used both the Campagnolo items and others across the range. At the time, there was a strong, long-term connection to...
