The newer style teeth from late 70's.



Stronglight used the chain catcher pins on the largest chainrings 50T ??? on up on their Ref 93, 99, 104, 105, 106 and 107 cranks. The part was # 64 on the earlier models and 63 on the 106 & 107 cranks. Never saw the catcher pins on Ref 49 or any of the later economy models.

See? That was easy! Thanks, Chas!

"Mid-70s" is close enough for me. I had thought it might have been earlier, since I have a vague memory that my new 71 TdF came with the blunter teeth.
