I have a Campagnolo Adjustable Cup (with rifled spindle hole) that is engraved "36.5X24F." I know Italian is 36X24F, but never heard of 36.5...... I found this cup at a cool little shop in San Francisco where they have a bunch of dogs running in and out of the shop. I asked the guy there what in the world this cup was for; (the guy looked a bit "baked.") He said it is a special cup made by Campagnolo and is used in situations where the threads in the frame strip out and can really "save the day." Anyone have any more info on this?
