10 by 26 axle, 175mm in length, solid. Then a set of pretty standard
Campagnolo cones, locknuts and then track locknuts. 1/4 inch bearing
balls, 9 onna side, just like similar road hubs.

you can gently pry the dust caps off or use a Suntour bearing remover,
spread out to support the caps lips, then tap out from the other side.

See, I thought this was going to be about the (thankfully) quick
abandonment of the Escape Mechanism.

You can say that twice, twice.
Installed a 2009 SuperRecord group yesterday and noticed the 'click'
of the RH lever was much more 'positive, clicky' than on 2009 Veloce,
Chorus or Record. Wonder if they are doing some sort of running change
to make it less soft feeling, once again, actually listening to
riders. Very unlike Campagnolo. Now, if they would just do something
about cogset ratios. Like have 11 or 12 thru 23, 25, 27,
29...thatwouldbenice(altho,12/27..11s....isnice

That's my one gripe about the 2009 Veloces...too soft on the rear
downshifts. Upshifts are fine, but being hard of hearing like I am, I
value that tactile feedback.
