I was referring to the Campagnolo binder bolt on which one side is knurled. You use two 5M allen keys to tighten it.
Yeah, and they must weigh a half a pound! And I was musing the other day why my Gitane seems so heavy.
Oh, OK...I'm sorta slow on the uptake here...so you were asking the length of the non-original binder bolt on this Tour de France? Of course, mon ami, if it is indeed not a TdF, but an SC, the Campy might be original equipe', no? A "keyed" Campy binder bolt?
I'm lost.
Anyway, I have a Campy bolt here with one side knurled, standard 8 mm binder from that period, and yes, it's 20 mm in the fully closed position. Tightens in the ears of my TdF well, with a couple threads to spare.
Thanks for the inspiration. Just saved me a half a pound. I never ride that bike to the store anyway.
