NYC Area Help: TA crank puller needed

[Patch T]

Hi NYC Folks -

TL;DR: Is there anyone in the boroughs that can lend me their TA crank puller?

I installed a TA crank on a frame to measure the Q factor. My Q-riosity sated, I then went to pull the crank and reinstall the arms the correct way. But I can't for the life of me find my 23mm crank puller (haven't used it in years). I've ordered a new one, but would love to remove it soon, like before or over this weekend. I'm not having much luck finding a shop with one. Anyone here have one I can briefly  borrow?

Thanks!

Found one at Nomad Bikes in Woodside, Queens. Damon to the rescue! 

Minh, not that I know of.

Hi Patch, glad to see you found what you needed. I was going to ask you if this CCP-1 was the ticket, I've only ever used the one side...

Count me in on the official riv gang in Brooklyn! Minh's President, Patch is Vice/Gang Chef

Thanks Kai - if you have a caliper and could measure, it might be TA if it's 23mm (Stronglight if 23.5 I think). But I really don't know, as that's not the same kind of tool of mine that went missing recently.

Yes, the Park CCP-1 is 22mm Campagnolo/de facto standard on one side, 23mm traditional TA on the other. If you want to switch, you unscrew the threaded element from the central push bolt, flip it over, and rethread. It was also sold in Schwinn Approved branding, with a red-dipped handle.

Traditional Stronglight is 23.35mm; they switched to 22mm in 1982. Do not try to extract a 23.35mm crank with a 23mm TA extractor (whether the extractor is made by TA, Park, VAR or Stein); you'll strip the threads out of the crankarm. If you can't find an original Stronglight extractor or a VAR 22/2 extractor, J.A. Stein of Prescott Arizona, maker of all sorts of marvelous tools, sells them for $45 through his eBay store:
