Tomas,

The Campy copies that I used to have on my Longchamp GTS (apparently 
those of Kirk Evans origin which are rumored to have cracking 
problems) were three piece and had no bolts showing. The center 
section had studs in it and then the two rim pieces slid over the 
studs and were held in place by nuts on the back side of the wheel.

So, no bolts visible on the front of the wheel; just the back.

Trouble is, three of them cracked (the rumors are true?) and I 
couldn't find anyone to repair/replace them. So... It now has _real_ 
Campies on it.

FWIW,

Kirby
