Better yet, I just purchased a Terry Butterfly for Janet's Terry (hand made by Georgena in '84) and the hole in the middle of the saddle allows super access for a nut driver to the Campy 2-bolts. There was another wrench I picked up back in the 80's that has a 10mm open end and a 16 point box end, bent in the same way as the Campy wrench, but works better. Used it today on the B17 I got from Phil to install it on the World Traveler I got from Walt. Now I would recommend one of those tiny ratcheting wrenches.
