Pedaling (Tool) Style

Brev. Campagnolo Love!



Here's my very trusty Campagnolo Splined Pedal Dustcap Tool, model number 710, produced in the sixties and purchased in the early eighties.

This handy palm sized tool (measuring 4 3/4") easily takes off my Nuovo Record pedal dustcap to expose a 11mm nut and washer protecting the 12 ball bearings. Campy designers were clever to make it two in one by including a 11mm hex end to loosen the nut to make it easier to repack the ball bearings. I had a look at the 23 year old ball bearings, still in very good shape. All I had to do was just add more grease!
