I recently purchased package of campy hubs, which included a complete front hub, a complete rear hub, and all but the bearings of another rear hub (it had one pitted cone but the races were fine), plus an extra skewer for a newer campy rear hub. What I received has left me with a few questions. While the seller listed the spacing (126mm) and the number of holes in the hubs (32) no mention of the threading was made.
My first question is was it a reasonable assumption to make that if no mention of threads were made that they would be british threads? I was miffed to find that the threads were Italian on both rear hubs (this is mitigated by the fact that I was only after the front hub anyway).
My second question is how hard is it to find freewheels with italian threading? Just what are my options here?
As I mentioned I was only after the front hub, and I intended to sell or trade the other stuff, or maybe use it for some other project later. As an aside, if anyone is interested in trading for or buying these rear hubs, I would consider just about any reasonable offer.
