Ok, old dogs... dig into your memory:
Do the vintage TA cranks (1970's) use a Stronglight type/thread
puller

or a more standard (aka modern) puller ?
Well, Retro Bob (any relationship to Sideshow Bob?), as I was looking for my old Stronglight puller, I happened across an old T.A. puller, too. It is a compact model with a short tool body and a threaded bolt through the center -- the standard consumer tool from the late '70s early 80s. I think it is a 23mm, since I already had a 22mm Campagnolo tool and would not have bought a duplicate. Is this something you need? If so, I am having a puller sale at $10 a pop shipping included. I also have a 1976 Dura Ace puller that actually came with the crank. Imagine that, getting a real puller with the crank (and not just a flakey chainring bolt wrench). Those were the good old days! -- Jay Beattie.

... and, er, no... not enough hair to put the bone in there. I can do a great crusty impersonation though, but not through a newsgroup.

Dear Bob,
Dear God!
The elegantly coiffed Sideshow Bob has no bone in his hair!
I know this is petty, but without eternal vigilance, we'll have Hamlet babbling "get thee to a nunnery" while strangling Desdemona, with Cordelia standing next in line.

Oh, good heavens, deary me. Please, send my apologies to everyone concerned. It's just all this pressure of writing and posting, writing and posting, more writing and posting. Perhaps I should hire a young assistant to help me in my literary affairs.

Dear Bob,
There's a well-known and far-from-shy poster who shares your passion for Gilbert and Sullivan, but he'll be too busy to assist you until--well, why not let him tell it?

TA pullers are silver with a TA logo on the top, 15mm drive. Stronglight are similar but no logo and 16mm (5/8"😉 drive. (Later Stronglights are 22mm and black )

The TA puller has the logo and is a 15mm drive, although it measures at just under 23mm, but not 22mm. Could be my calipers. It certainly does not fit a 22mm thread. Was there any other TA standard besides 23mm and later 22mm? -- Jay Beattie.
