952.0. "athena pedal upgrade" by STAR::MCCARTHY () Tue Jan 03 1989 16:27

    
    
    	I was looking at the Athena group this weekend and come to find
    out you cannot upgrade the pedal system on that group. According
    to the people at Naults the crankarm is 15mm thick instead of the
    standard 12mm. This would make the spindle to be 3mm short which
    would cause the pedal to flex and possibly crack the crankarm.
    Has anyone heard of this problem??

    If you are interested in buying this groupo, I recommend you get
    the answer from the horses mouth...campy USA.  They have a customer
    support hotline 1-800-USCAMPI.

    	I called the Campy people and they stand by there product. They
    said the engineers know about the problem but it isn't serious enough
    to worry about so any pedal system will work.
