Get a French FW and try to install it. If it goes on without undue force,
that is the proper FW. Leave it on or replace it with another French FW. >>
Jerry,
I went and dug out a French freewheel and it fits just fine on the Normandy hub, but will not thread onto the Zeus. I also tried the freewheel on a Suntour hub, and it would not thread onto this hub as well. The Zeus hub is not marked BSC, so if anyone else has these 'Metric' marked Zeus hubs, it may be prudent to test them in your hand before taking to the streets.
