adjustments on pedals
i just bought a pair of campy record pedals off of ebay. one seems to be spinning perfectly but the other one doesn't spin as freely, almost as if its not "slick" enough. does this mean i need to do some sort of adjustment on the spindle component or just ride it out (seller says it hasn't been used in 12 yrs)?

If you're not comfortable trying it, take it to a cool LBS and let them show you how to service one of the pedals and try the other one yourself...it's a good way to learn.
Finally, there is a cool campy pedal tool that allows you to remove the plastic endcap without chewing it up. If you can find one grab it but it's not a necessity.
