Does anyone recall if folks ever kitted a bike, "in the day" with Campy Gran Sport or Record derailleurs and hubs that required wingnuts (i.e., like my large flange FB's)? I have tried a few sets of wingnuts, the last being a NOS set of Hurets that I spent too much for on Ebay, and none are able to clear the upper pivot of the Gran Sport DR. Perhaps track nuts were used? I have set up my FB's incorrectly with Campy NR hollow axles and QRs and all is fine....but I sure would like to use the FB's as built. Am I correct in assuming FB three piece hubs were always equipped with solid axles? Are there any brand or style of wingnut that might work?

Thanks! Paul Raley Leonardtown MD
