3.5 allen wrench. Who's great idea was that??
Sounds like some of you ride with them. Fiddly set up and all.
I thank you for your responses.
Yeah, go figure. Campy also spec'd a 7mm allen bolt
on something or other that once passed through my hands but is now long forgotten. If you need a 3.5mm allen wrench,
Bondhus is your answer.
I had a set of Deltas. Note the past tense. They came on a bike I bought. I rode them for two or three flatish rides for the heck of it (I always planned to sell them, and I did). As stoppers, they were . . . okay. I mean, they stopped me and I didn't die. I did not take them down any serious hills, but they did what I asked them to do. They are beautiful by themselves sitting in my hand, but they are huge on a bike, disproportionally so to my eye. I did not want to sort through figuring out how to set them up and I wanted the power of dual pivots (I'm a big boy and I go down significant hills almost every ride), so I moved them along to someone who appreciated them. Went a long toward paying for the bike, too.
