Thanks for bringing this up Tom. I have a couple Cyclo freewheels. I was trying to decide if they were French threaded or not. Is there a reliable figure for the ID of a French freewheel? As opposed to the OD of the hub, which is usually the measurement given. Funny thing is I don't seem to have a French threaded hub around. hmm...............
