Hi All, A recently acquired 1973 Ron Cooper built Gillott track iron has TA
cranks. I have a Campagnolo extractor which is a sloppy fit and a
Stronglight tool which just wont start in the threads of either side. There
is no visible damage to the threads. Do I need a dedicated TA extractor?
I have a NOS Stronglight extractor tool for a trade if anyone is interested.
The 5 pin crank carries an adapter or "Intercalaire" with an early 50's
1/8th 48 tooth ring. The ring has the correct stamps for the early 50's
period. Can anyone tell me if these rings and adapters were still in common
use in the 70's? Mark Stevens in Dingwall, Scotland where we had amazing
