I can't help with info Richard, other than you need the correct extractor. Someone has already pointed out that the TA and Stronglight threads are close, but I have seen a newish Stronglight crankarm damaged to the point where I hate to put it on a bike, through concern about getting it of again, by the inadvertant use of a TA extractor. My pal has both TA and Stronglight and just happened to pick up the wrong one - both identical apart from minute engraved letters on the top. Having seen the price of the correct tool on eBay it seems there is a niche manufacturing opportunity here? Just done a 60 mile club run in brilliant sunshine on a newly acquired 1980 Trevor Jarvis Flying Gate. I would be interested to know how many made it across the pond.

Ahoy !
I have no experience of the European-metric manufacturing and threaded fastener industries.
Does anyone know if this thread size is a common size or Stronglight proprietary?
Thanks.
