I didn't use a drill but I figure it would be a lot more effective when you use a drill. I just did it by hand trying to apply little pressure and doing it as evenly as possible. As I said, it's just a temporary fix and I'm planning to get a new cone. What about cone compatibility? Can I use any generic cone or does it need to be campagnolo or even campa pista?
On another note: I have a feeling that the frame might have used 27 inch (63o) wheels originally, which would explain the relatively large clearances. How hard would it be to find a pair of 36h 630c wheels and a matching set of tires? Is it worth the hassle just for 4mm less tire clearance?
