Subject: [CR]RE: Cambio Corsa Axle Help Please

After posting my previous note on this subject I had a closer look at a couple of my Corsa equipped bikes. It seems that the earlier Corsa axles were threaded right to the end on both sides. Later editions had an unthreaded portion on the RH side. All the Paris-Roubaix axles are unthreaded on the right. The unthreaded portion probably withstands wear better than the threaded portion especially on the right which takes more of the strain. Mike Barry. Still fiddling with old derailleurs in Toronto.
