Hi all. For the current Record Pista cranks (14 mm hex bolt), can I only use the Allen key dust caps (marked Campag Made in Italy)? Or is it possible to use the ones that take a pin spanner?

considering that the thread is always the same diameter/pitch (apart from old TA or Stronglight), on't see why any dust cap won't screw in :)

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, appreciate that the thread is 22 mm most of the time, no problem with that aspect, but I was thinking more of the depth or clearance over the bolt heads. Perhaps some dust caps might not clear the bolts if they were meant for cranks that use a Allen key bolts.

Allen key crank bolts are the same diameter as regular crank bolts so if the cap fits one, it will the other also.

Good point, I guess that's why cranks like Campy Pista have shallow 14mm bolts

Cheers both. Now to locate a pair at a not-too-painful price.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
