Campag part numbers are #712/1 headset locknut/BB adjustable cup, #712 headset top cup/BB lock ring and #713 pedal spanner/BB fixed cup. I sold the set I had, but loads of people who rode in the olden days will have them. I'm pretty sure there are still two more sets in my family. http://www.campyoldy.co.uk/stocklist.htm has #713 NOS £29, so don't pay more from ambitious 'Merkin ebayers.

Can anyone please tell me if cantilever pad toe in means toed in towards the front of the bike, or toed in towards the direction the wheel is travelling? I am trying to fix some squealing cantilever brakes on a friends bike, and I can't remember which way the pads should be aligned.

toe in, so closer in at the front (toes are at the front of your foot) and heel out (heels are at the rear of your foot)
so when the wheel goes through the pads get pushed forwards and into a more parallel position

Which way do your toes point when you're on the bike? Now turn them inwards, i.e. heel out. That's toe in. On a brake pad, that actually means that the trailing edge of the pad hits the rim first, because the brake is travelling backwards relative to the rim, so I can see how it might be confusing

Here being where?One set in Bracknell, one in Salisbury. But as your BB isn't Campag, there's a fair chance that the tools you actually need will be fractionally different sizes. Removing the fixed cup is usually best done off an otherwise bare frame by holding the cup flats in a bench vice and turning the frame, unless you have a high degree of confidence that it was assembled relatively recently with correct assembly lubrication. They tend to be a bit sticky, and it's easy to take chunks off the cup (and your knuckles) when you try to get a stuck one out with just the spanner.

If it's that exact BB, make sure you remember that the Italian fixed cup has a right hand thread, unlike BSC.

Here being the house of the trolly cunt in wales with all the tools.

Okay. I'm thinking this is one of those jobs that would be better left to the pros. I have neither the tools, nor the knowledge to do it right. And yes it is that exact BB...

Thank you. Lets see if this works.!

Although... I do have a bench vice... And a pin spanner alone isn't too pricey.... Hmm.

So the adjustable cup is 'standard' (CW to tighten and ACW to loosen), while the fixed cup is the opposite (ACW to tighten and CW to loosen)?

On a BSC bottom bracket that's how it is, on the Italian one you pictured the fixed cup is also clockwise to tighten/widdershins to remove

I'm after a +10m ethernet cable - just the regular thing you'd plug into your pc > router.
Are both of these ok?

Okay, now I'm back... BB Stripped and cleaned, but what is the best kind of 'all purpose grease', that I can use on both threads and bearings etc.?

is it steel lugs, ti maintubes?
Either ti or Alu top and down tubes, seat tube and stays are steel, as are lugs.

Still sounds like Dyna-tech to me.

There isn't one grease to rule them all. Go to a motor factor and get a half kilo tin each of Copper grease for things which don't move and Molybdenum Disulphide for things that do. £10 investment which will last a lifetime.

But which one?

The 32mm spanner on the end off the pin spanner is for the headset, the fixed cup uses the third tool which has the 15mm pedal spanner on the other end.
