Hi all,
I'm trying to ascertain if the bolt that holds the cam shell up is 1.5mm pitch (Metric Fine), or if it's standard 1.75mm pitch to order a longer one.
I'm looking to extend the length a bit to accommodate a bigger tyre.
Thanks,
Mike

Winkles and whelks on the market stall in Cambridge?

Could be. I have never heard them called camshells before. I wonder what size tyres the OP is hoping to fit?
