Sutherland's says that this combo works but one should avoid switching back and forth between English and Italian FW's on the same hub. They also say "not for heavy or strong riders". I don't usually worry about the difference, especially since with some FW's it's difficult to tell for sure which it is.

Specifically, I want to use a British threaded 5 speed Regina freewheel on a Campy NR Italian threaded 6 speed hub, with appropriate spacer redistribution to compensate for the 120 vs. 126 freewheel.

Will this work right?
