Tools for installation:

All Campagnolo road cranksets from 1996 to the present, use an 8 mm allen wrench to tighten or loosen the bolt that fastens the crank arms to the bottom bracket spindle.
To install a Campagnolo crank you only need a good quality, extra long, 8 mm allen wrench such as the Park HR-8C.
To remove a 1996 to present, Campagnolo crank you will need an 8 mm allen wrench and a crank puller.
Older, 1990 to 1996 Campagnolo C-Record cranks sometimes came with a 7 mm allen head crank fixing bolt. Those cranks require a special left hand thread crank puller which is listed below. All other Campagnolo cranks may be removed with a normal, right hand thread, crank puller. Both Park and Campy make excellent quality, right hand thread, crank pullers which are pictured below.
The Park CCP-2 crank puller is designed for use with cranks that fit on tapered bottom bracket spindles only. It will work on new Campagnolo and older Shimano cranks. Newer Shimano cranks with the splined, oversize bottom bracket spindle require a Park CCP-4 puller, part number TL-70-15 for $11.88.
We use a Park 3 Way allen wrench to tighten or loosen chain ring bolts. It fits in our hands well, gives just the right amount of leverage and unlike "L" wrenches, keeps our fingers well away from the sharp, chain ring teeth.
For Campagnolo and other brands of Carbon cranks we use a Park TWS-2 folding Torx wrench to tighten or loosen chain ring bolts. It fits in our hands well, gives just the right amount of leverage and unlike "L" wrenches, keeps our fingers well away from the sharp, chain ring teeth.
The Park TWS-2 combines the wrench sizes widely used on bicycle components (T7, T8, T10, T15, T20, T25, T30, and T40) in a convenient fold-up set. The green composite handle is extremely strong (stronger than steel handles), comfortable to use, and slip resistant.
A chain ring nut wrench is essential to keep the slotted rear nut from spinning around. Campagnolo wrenches fit all chainring nuts. Park and Shimano wrenches fit Shimano and most other nuts and will work ok with Camapagnolo nuts. If you file 1 mm off each side they will fit Campy chain nuts perfectly and work better than than the original Campy tool. The Shimano Chain Ring nut tool also has two pins that fit their crank bolt dust cover.

Branford Bike Online Catalog - Archival Edition
brought to you by the former owner of Branford Bike, Tim Brockett via his personal web site, TimsLife.Com

This is an archival edition of the Branford Bike web site from February 2006. Complete with product photos, prices, how to articles and technical specifications it is a treasure trove of accurate, detailed and historical information.

In July of 2006 Branford Bike was incinerated by a huge forest fire. No one was hurt but the inventory and buildings were completely destroyed. I witnessed the fire and stayed until the trees were burning in my driveway. At that point I hiked from Branford Bike, through the smoke and embers, down the mountain to my Jeep 3 miles away. I took photos and wrote about the harrowing experience so everyone could see what I saw. My insurance was generous and I later rebuilt my home and started another business selling books. Read the story here.

Branford Bike was a huge part of my life for over 30 years; June 1976 to July 2006. I enjoyed those years tremendously and Branford Bike was often a labor of love. I hope you enjoy browsing through the archival catalog. If your visit brings back pleasant memories please share them with me via e-mail at timbrockett@gmail.com .

If you find any printed Branford Bike catalogs, advertisments or flyers please scan them as a PDF and email. Or you may mail them via US Post to Tim Brockett, PO Box 1711, Emigrant, MT 59027. Eventually I will post them in a Memorabilia catalog section.

Many Thanks and Best Wishes,
Tim Brockett
