Hi
I have recently serviced this (new to me) Campag Record Pista wheelset. Rear hub was perfect and spins forever on the new bearings and grease but the front is a different story.
Dazzled by the shineyness ofnew things didnt really think too much about the fact that one side of the axle was only finger tight. Serviced the hub but when i went to reassemble have realised that the cones sit almost inline with the dust covers, rendering it impossible to get a cone spanner in to tighten them down.
As you can see the cones are proper Campag but could be off a different model and i'm unsure whether the silver spacers are standrard fit or have been used to pack the spacing out.
Can anyone measure the length of a record pista cone as i'm sure this is the most likely explanation, unless anyone has other ideas?
Thanks
Alex
