To remove a Campy Strada Crankset..........
 

I haven't found many bikes over the last year or so and this week I have picked up 6 of em..........4 of them today. Out garage sale ing this morning and spotted 2 Team Miyata's hanging up high in the back of a pole barn. I asked about them and turned out the guys son rode for Pepsi some odd years ago. After some precarious climbing around and bartering I managed to get them down and bring them home. I've spent the last few hours cleaning them up and seeing what exactly I have to work with. One with a complete Dura Ace group, including a spare wheelset, cleaned up pretty well but has a stuck stem situation to deal with. The second is cleaning up not quite as well with some surface rust on the chrome bits and pitting in a few spots. I can move the stem and seatpost. This one has a mixed bag of Campy and DA as well as 2 Campy Record wheelsets..........cranks are Campy Strada and I would guess the BB is Campy as well. What tool do I need to remove the crank bolt, crank arms and possibly the BB?

You mean Campy Strada as in Record from the 70s or 80s?

If so, you need a 15 mm thin wall socket for crank bolts and standard, or Campy crank puller.

Forgive me, I know little to nothing about Campy...........but yes, I believe it's mid 80's Record. It was outfitted with Record hubs, FD and brakeset. The DO's are Campy as well. Shifters, RD and 8 speed cogs are DA

So a 15mm thinwall socket and try a standard puller?

yes. just make sure the crank bolt is 15mm, some folks would change them out to 14mm because their 15mm wrench wouldn't engage.

Okay..........15mm crank bolts have been removed with a Park 15mm socket wrench. A standard puller only threads in to the drive side about 2 threads comfortably and starts getting pretty tight. I think somebody beat me to the non drive side. It starts in about a thread and a half and it's cross threaded. I will check with a LBS tomorrow afternoon.....maybe they have the proper puller and can chase the threads?

I would like to see if this works for anyone but me...in my case it was a stuck expander bolt.

The cranks should be standard threading... 22 x 1mm I believe.

Campy makes (or made) a puller, like these (not the first one), but they are just standard thread. Sounds like the threads are messed up.

You could try riding it just a bit with the bolts out; the arms should loosen enough to come off. Be careful not to ride to much or vigorously to destroy the tapers. Maybe just stand on them (both forward and reverse) a couple of times to see if they loosen.

If you can get them off, have your LBS chase the threads for you, if you trust them.

I have one arm that has the 1st couple of threads stripped. I always start the remover in backwards and wait to feel a click, then thread it in. That one taught me to always make sure the bolts and washers are out before you try to pull the arm :lol:

Went ahead and pulled the drive side without issue...............still concerned about saving the non drive. A typical tap will "bottom out" before the threads engage............

Would love to try it if I had the equipment.

Carefully and use the correct tools!!

Bicycle Research makes a tool for chasing the threads while the crank is still installed....it's not a cheap tool and its one of those tools you only use once.

If the one bike has Campy DO's (drop outs?) it's probably not a Miyata.

The 1984 Team Miyata SL had Camapagnolo dropouts to go with the mostly Campagnolo SR group that it was equipped with.

Should have mentioned.........it has Rossin panto'd on the seat stays and an "R" cutout in BB shell. However it is decal'd TEAM MIYATA. The non drive side dropout also has MK 795 stamped on it.
