Hi Tom, I was bagging on the Campy clone Sugino, the one you have with the smaller bolt circle, may be fine. I'm not familiar with it. If it's SUPPOSED to work with a Campy 114 axle, then it should work with any 114 axle...BUT, since you are mixing metaphors, er,...manufacturers, unless you find someone who has done it before you (and will admit it), you will have to do a test assembly. Can you "borrow" something from a friend to try it out?
