I'm in the cleaning mode attacking my Campagnolo Nuovo Record Gruppo. Labor intensive but fun at the same time. I found an interesting item burried in my tool kit...
Packed in the small clear, circular, plastic case are Campagnolo bottom bracket bearings (I believe) from the early eighties? It's a joy to smell the familiar grease and inside are 2 sets of 11 ball bearings sitting in a retainer ring. I bought this little gem in the early eighties from a bankrupted bicycle shop in Edmonton. Now, I wonder if I can use this to my restoration? It's a fun discovery!

Beautiful case!
The grease is in ok condition?
Yes it is!
Use them.. then use the case for little nicknacks
Spread some old love to my new one!
The best ...also the best grease ... this grease was in a class by itself .......
Absolutely! The world class grease still looks in good shape. In fact, I still have an old tub of it from the early eighties... that's a joy to use!
