> Can anyone tell me if the 2 piece fixing bolts for T A Strada and Stronglight chainwheels are slightly larger then Campy? I just received a Tevano Strada Campy copy and the fixing bolts from Campy are loose in the holes. If so I need a set of 5. Thanks.

There is no appreciable difference in the size of the Tevano fixing bolts for TA's "copy" 144 BCD cranksets and Campagnolo's version. I just compared the dimensions of the shoulder of the nut on both, and the difference is +/- .3 mm. Okay, the Tevano is slightly larger at 10.2 vs. Campag at 9.9, but that may just be manufacturing tolerances. The difference would probably average lower if you measured a bunch of each, I suspect. In practical application, either should work (I did test fit Campag in a Tevano arm). For reference, the TA part number is #55 for the bolt set and, unlike Campag, the Tevano set includes spring washers like most TA bolt sets.
And, unfortunately, I do not have any Tevano sets for sale.
