Campagnolo - 32mm or 36mm ???
Hi... So I'm headed to a store to buy some park tools... Most of my bikes have 80's style campagnolo chorus headsets and campagnolo old school bottom brackets...
Before leaving home I remembered to measure the headset and it was 32mm
Here are my questions:
- to remove / install a headset will I need two think park 32mm wrenches?
- will 32mm also work on a dura ace 7410 headset?
- will 36mm work for the tight cup on an 80's campagnolo bottom bracket?
- will 36 also work on an 80's style shimano 600 bottom bracket tight cup?
Thanks!

don't know about the shimano cups and hs. but two 32 mm wrenches are needed for a campy headset.Park makes a 36 mm box wrench for the fixed cup with a dual pin combo to aid in adjusting/ removing adjustable cup.They have a 32 and 36 mm open end combo so you have 2 bases covered.If you can score a campy lockring tool on the bay it also has the 32 mm open end,park must have something similar And park has a variety of dual pin wrenches that are spring steel and have a range of sizes by squeezing the handles , green seems to be a winner for most bb's.I'm going to take an educated gues and say there's probably a little standardization of those parts.Just be sure of the direction you want to turn(sheldon brown has the answers in his a-z ) as nothing beats tightening to death something you want to remove

1 32mm is minimum required to adjust a headset, a large crescent wrench can tighten the locknut.
32mm headset wrench should be standard for the majority of 1" threaded headsets.
36mm headset wrench is for threaded 1 1/8" headsets.
It will also fit a drive side bottom bracket fixed cup.
