I have an old Panasonic road bike with 170mm Campy cranks on it. They appear to have an allen
bolt, although it is a different size than is on my modern FS mtn bike.

I have been told it's likely a 10mm.

Anyone have old Campy cranks with 10mm bolts?

I guess I'll run down to the LBS with it...

I thought Campy had 7mm bolts.

Anyone know differently?

Could also be a non-Campy allen-head crank bolt or self-extracting gizmo. They were sold in the
aftermarket during the time that Campy used 15mm hex-head bolts. There were several types & bolt
formats used in these products. Some even used 6mm allen head, which is just way too small.

I'm pretty sure it's bigger than 7mm. My FS mtn bike crank bolts are definitely bigger than 7mm and
that wrench is too small for the Campys.

...to the LBS w/ it tomorrow.

I was gonna say 7 as well, and that is one size most allen wrench sets do not have. Be careful,
also, since the auto-extractor rings, the things that look like the dust caps, are left-hand thread.
They also tend to wear. I had one that was so bad off it would not pull the crank any more.

I think they were 8mm in 1995 (and still are).

The bolt is m8x1. The allen head was 7mm on the older bolts, 8mm now

This era had 7mm self extractores, then went to a 8mm allen about 1994 or so-or a 15mm bolt-

You guys were absolutely correct. 7mm it is! Got a wrench now.
