New-Old-Stock Campagnolo Veloce Double Crankarm Set (172.5mm). Some Shopwear

  
New-Old-Stock Campagnolo Veloce Double Crankarm Set (172.5 mm)... Some Shopwear Thank you for your interest in this item and please visit our store for other offerings. This offering is for a new-old-stock Campagnolo (Campy) Veloce double crankarm set that measures 172.5 mm in length. It's made from a forged aluminum alloy, so it should be fairly strong and the finish is typical Campy... A nice lightly polished satin silver.

These crankarm sets are labeled as 10-speed models, but please see notes below concerning their adaptability to other drivetrains. Additionally, I really cannot tell a difference between Campy's Veloce crankarms and their next model up... The Centaur crankarms (which replaced the Daytona groupset in 2002). I realize Centaur cranksets are typically matched with better Ultra-Drive chainrings (relative to Veloce cranksets), but the crankarms themselves appear identical. Both are nice Campy offerings, but Veloce models are typically marketed at a lower price point, which probably makes them one of the better values among crankarms/cranksets.

The bolt-circle-diameter (BCD) of the five-arm spider that connects to the chainrings is 135 mm. Other specs worth noting include the English threaded bolt-hole for a 9/16 pedal axle and the square-tapered spindle hole for a bottom bracket with an ISO taper and a total (spindle) length of 111 mm. The other interesting specification that is probably not as widely known concerns the thickness of the chainring mounting arms. Sure enough, caliper measurements confirmed there is nearly a 0.5 mm difference between Veloce 9-speed and 10-speed crankarms (at these chainring mounting points).

Now this is not necessarily that big of a deal, as spacers are available to push chainrings farther apart to achieve appropriate spacing for nearly any drivetrain. Although, we thought the measured difference was still worth noting for those individuals that were not intending to use (or wanted to minimize the use of) spacers. Still, it's important to note that even Veloce 10-speed crankarms may be fitted to a 7/8-speed drivetrain with appropriate spacers inserted/installed to accommodate the wider chain that is generally used with these older drivetrains. Please also note when installing spacers, the most common practice on a double crankarm is to insert them between the large chainring and the crankarm. As for condition, these crankarms were bulk-packed, so expect some shopwear (scratches and scuffs), but the overall cosmetic condition is still fairly nice.
