campy super record chainring tool

[St. Elia]

Does anyone know where I can get a chainring bolt tool? I'm talking about the special one that attaches to the crank arm not the standard ones. I have looked on the campy site and can't find it anywhere!

 

[The Bald Eagle]

The tool You require is the Campagnolo UT-BB110.

Here are two links where this tool can be purchased. I don't know where You live, so one of these site is in Europe and the other is in America.

Link 1: www.competitivecyclist.com

Link 2: www.bike24.com/p25011.html

Alternatively You can use a 10mm Allen key and a 10 mm spanner to remove the 10 mm Bolt, and replace it. But the special campy tool is the more essential option because it will enable You to use a torque wrench to torque the bolt to the specific Torque value required, which is very important.

Well thanks but, I have the BB, crank tool, I'm asking about the chairing tool. It's a special tool that is a star shape but with a special hole/shape to it.

It is a Torx bold and the tools are available at a hardware or better tool store.
Most bike tool companies sell them as do automotive tool companies.
Sorry I don't have the size in my head but T-15 or T-20 comes to mind

I have never owned a campagnolo crankset only shimano, sram, bontrager and FSA. Looking at the campagnolo website I see the mention of a Torx T30 tool on the crankset installation manual. So I assume this is the size of Your chain ring bolts. I have a time trial bike with a FSA SLK Light Crankset that requires the use of a Torx T30 tool for the removal of the chainring bolts. I then purchased a 1/4 inch drive TX30 socket bit from Teng Tools Online which will exactly fit the Torx T30 chainring bolts. I then use this socket bit along with a torque wrench to secure the Chainring Bolts to the correct torque. A FSA T-3O wrench will fit Your Campy Chainring Bolts. This Tool can be purchased at chain reaction cycles. Northern Ireland.

A long 10mm alen key and cut the end off with a grinder then it will work on a torqu wrench.
cheap and easy

All in aid of selling extra parts that we dont need i got a set of Torx keys along with a set of alen keys all for $10 very handy.

 

[St. Elia]

Ok I guess I'm not explaining myself very well.

On the inside of the crank, not the torx wrench side, where the small chain ring attaches to the crank arm. There is a star shaped hole with a special looking do dad in the middle. It's not standard. I'll try to take a pic of it today and post it.

Again thanks guys I know you are all trying to help.

Chainring bolts are size T30.

Yep I purchased only what I needed and chose quality over quantity for a small price, stainless steel and a high quality teng tool that will last a life time without the rounding of tool heads to worry about. Oh and also that little annoying thing you would call rust. You get what You pay for. I would choose quality over quantity any time. And I don't have a bunch of cheap tools lying around that I don't need.

And if Your prepared to invest in a crankset for say $300 to $600 for example I don't think $15 extra for the proper tools will break the bank!! Torx bolts in My Opinion are a better option than Hex bolts. Especially those very light aluminum hex bolts that are very easily rounded with a allen key if one is not careful. Then you have to get the power drill out, stick in a metal bit of the correct size and drill Your rounded hex bolt out. I have never had that problem with torx Bolts. And I have had several cranksets with torx bolts.

Never have too many tools around can never find the one I want when I want it.

Either my wife has found a use in the kitchen or someone borrowed it and I forgot.

She had a 10 pound hammer belting the steak and that was just to seperate it while frozen. God knows what she would use to tenderise it.
Now I lend to no one and my wife stays in the kitchen and I stay in the garage !!!!!!

Yep good rhetoric with a sense of humour!!

 

[St. Elia]

Ya, I'm laughing my a$$ off, but, still you guys can't answer my question, some mechanics you guys are

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Are these the same chain ring Bolts that You are describing that require a torx 30 tool and a special park tool for the rear slot. With the long torx 30 bolt and spacer, which goes through the chainrings and hidden crank arm hole and screwed directly into the crank itself. This Link:

If not You Would Really need to uplink a digital photo of what You are describing. And a Photo of the Crankset You have.

Here is the Park Tool that is required for anyone who is interested:

Yes this the the tool you use on all of the other bolts for the back side, except the one that goes into the crank.

"The 11-speed chainrings now have eight shift positions with pins and special tooth profiles at each. This is up from six shift positions (and from fourbefore that). The chainring bolts no longer have a female nut on the backside. Instead, they thread directly into the inner chainring and are tightened with a Torx key."

Quoted from a velonews article from interbike on the 2011 Campagnolo groupo.
My bolt comes off with a torx as I said. I cannot imagine what your cranks have that is different?

Did you look at the pic? I'm talking about the small chain ring where it attaches to the crank arm. it looks like a torx key but has something in the middle that prevents me from using a standard tool. It's super record but not the 2011, not sure it there is a difference.

Yep I was studying Your Photo. I think I can see now what You are talking about.That grey colored ( star like shape that you describe ) object in the middle of the torx 30 Bolt is preventing You from using a standard Tool. Is that correct? Is that object You Describe made out of some kind of alloy? It is preventing the insertion of a Torx 30 standard tool to enable the removal of the chain ring Bolt. I think campagnolo introduced Ultra torque Cranksets in 2007. As the guy above described removing this bolt with a T-30. One would imagine that the removal of this bolt on Your crankset would be no different. But looking at Your photo that is not the case.?

Here is an image on the Campagnolo Website that shows in great clarity ( the chainring bolt that is screwed directly into the crank arm ) the exact same chainring bolt that You have on Your Crankset, and that is shown in Your up linked photo. Trying to help here to give the readers a clearer picture of what is required to remove this chainring bolt. Notice the grey shaped piece in the middle of the t-30 bolt.

Yes, thanks for pointing it out I saw the website but didn't notice the photo was what I have been talking about. Now I just need to find the tool!!

Your earlier comments were correct, a T 30 with something in the way. It's super record and was made in lat 2007 early 2008.

Anyone have any ideas?

I have The answer for Your minor problem. That little grey shaped piece in the middle of Your Torx 30 chainring bolt is made out of plastic. You can prise that out using a sharp headed thin object such as a tooth pick or a thin nail. Prise it out enough so that You can grip it with a pair of pliers, and then pull it out. Then use Your torx 30 key, and bob is Your Uncle. The plastic piece can then be reinserted once You have put the Bolt back in place. But frankly I don't think it is needed. I assume that campagnolo put that plastic piece in there as some sort of tamper proof mechanism. Ah ya wouldn't want any one stealing those rather expensive campy chainrings!! So no special tool exists just Your standard Torx 30 Key!! Good Luck.
