Re: Freewheel Query
Old Ned,
Do you think it is Italian? The freewheel screwed on a few turns quite easily but taking it off was a different story.
Any info will be appreciated as i want/need to use these wheels as they have just been rebuilt - don't make me cry!!!

ditto. bought a lovely old Record hub on eBay from a seller in France and discovered afterwards that the thread is French.
Luckily have a couple of Maillard freewheels with French threads.

Re: Freewheel Query
Campagnolo rear hubs should say wether it's Italian or English as its engraved next to the flange on the thread side.
The threads are similar, but not identical so beware. If you screw an English block on an Italian threaded hub you will cut the thread on the hub, as the metal is softer than that of the steel block and vice versa.

Re: Freewheel Query
Thanks, but i do not think there is any marking on my Nuovo Tipos - i will check tomorrow, if there is an obvious marking expect me to be very embarrassed!!!
As you have mentioned, i have already make the mistake with the wrong freewheel on these hubs but i did not damage the full thread luckily.
