Thank you for taking the time to explain that - extremely useful. Would you mind elaborating on what you mean. By 'play' with regard to the bearings. If there is play does that mean the axle will b a little too mobile I.e. wobble from side to side a little?

I think I'll have a go at it. Whilst I'm at it, can I pose the same question for this item?

Thanks. Is the homemade press broadly as I describe?

It's a threaded headset btw going on a steel frame

I've acquired a nice record headset and am pondering its instalation. I am very keen to build the whole bike myself but is it ill advised to attempt this? I have read a couple of horror stories on various forums. Using a long bolt and large washers to install the upper and lower head races...

No.2

Some better images of the hub...

Hello, I am looking for a replacement cone for the rear Campagnolo Record small flange hub (see image below). I recently bought this wheelset on Ebay and it is immaculate besides a a slight grinding / resistance when you rotate the rear axle. Evan's dismantled the hub and stated that the hub...

Thanks for the advice

Thanks - small world! I suppose its just making sure that the ferrules interface nicely /fit. Thanks for tip re script. Any ideas for the exposed steel rear gear housing cable just before the derailieur?

Would the 70cm x 111mm version here do the trick? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Campagnolo-Ve ... 2ec7d1e0bb

Thanks

Can anyone advise about the best option? I am considering these: http://www.jejamescycles.co.uk/campagno ... .html#info It says suitable for all campagnolo products but not sure if this extends to vintage components. Are there cheaper third party manufacturers that are worth considering? I...

Hi Shaun This is the one I was thinking about(HS15 at link below)- it quotes a stack height of 42mm but I suppose that may be incorrect as it doesn't discount the lip at the top of the lock nut. http://hilarystone.com/headset.html In reality the stack height may be 39.1mm as quoted I the link...

Short - as in the steerer may not insert sufficiently into the headset

I took a look at the chainset and it has a diamond with a 9 inside it on the back of the crank arm. '170 strada' is also written there

Thanks so much Shaun - I can;t believe what a good resource this forum is! I have learnt that you can discount the top 2mm or so of the locknut as there is a lip that needs to cover the top of the steer. This still leaves me a couple of mil out...

I recently bought an old steel frame which has a steerer tube height of 232mm. The head tube is 196mm. Can I use a 42mm stack height campagnolo record headset or will the 4mm shortfall prevent the lock nut connecting? It is very difficult to find out the specific locknut height of this...

Thanks RK - in terms of an idiots guide, what spec bb do I need to search for to get it right? i.e what are the key specs?

I have a gran sport strada chainset that I'm planning to mount on an 80s basso frame. I was in an lbs today asking about bottom brackets. They seemed to think that my chainset would require a special, asymmetrical bottom bracket to hold the chainset in the correct chain line. This was they way...
