Newbie question with requiring what I think is a quick answer:

Is it 'correct' or 'best practice' to put a wheelset with English- threaded Campy hubs on... say an early eighties Ciocc? Were Italian threaded hubs still the norm for such a bike at the time? Or had/did English threaded hubs take over by this time?

I have read in the archives about compatabilities between thread types but couldn't find anything that answered this question.

Thank you!
