<Dear List:
<French threaded freewheels and hubs are a common trap for the unwary
vintagista...the <French very seldom mark the thread size, which is 34.7 mm x
1mm for French and <1.370/1.375 x 24 TPI for English...

My question is this - is that all there is out there - 34.7 x 1 mm and 1.370/5 x
24 TPI or aren't there others to look out for?
