Seller says it is a Mavic crank puller. I say maybe dust cover remover for yellow/black Look style pedals. Any one know?
No guess here.

It is used in an arcane initiation ritual to brand the cheeks of new Mavic Service Course mechanics (the neutral service guys on those yellow motorcycles). I'm risking my life just by telling you this.

p.s. I actually think it might fit the holes on a dustcap (?) for a Mavic hub - the ones with Mavic cast into the shell, 500 series or something like that.

I don't know either. But at least we can be sure it's "not Campagnolo".

I'm pretty sure it's a Mavic BB cup remover/adjuster. They had adjustable cups on both sides on some of their BB's. It was a typical (in the old days..) pin-type adjusting. We used to use a pin wrench, two pins on the end of a plier-like device. However, it was not very good for adjusting because it was hard to hold with just the pin wrench. I think this was a Mavic tool for doing that duty, and it has a pin for every hold in the cup. Could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that's what it is.

Right. Mavic #670 for hub dust caps

Damn and I've been using a park BB tool all these years... I guess I voided the Warranty!

To me it looks like it coulb be a tool to adjust their hubs. ------------- Alex
The URL's changed: cgi.ebay.comeBayISAPI.dllOpen ↗ and it's now decribed as a #670 bottom bracket tool. However, I think the same tool worked on the dust caps for the 500/550 series hubs. That's a fuzzy memory, though.
