As with all things, one measurement is worth a thousand words, and when it comes to Campagnolo axles you must measure overall length, left end to shoulder of bearing race, center section between shoulders of bearing races, and right end to shoulder of bearing race. Only then do you know what you have (after you compare it to Campagnolo's axle chart of course).
