Miche BB threads

Are miche BBs italian threaded?

Their web site is down for maintenance so I can't find out.

The one I got from Condor has "1,37x24BSC" on the cups. It won't even start threading into my Roadrat, which I'm guessing is english threaded.

I knew I should have asked in Condor before I bought it. This is beginning to do my head in now!

I'd have thought they were available in both English and Italian threading, they definitely available with English threading as I have one fitted to my track bike :)

eeehhhh, I've just noticed that 3 (yes 3) minutes before you posted this, you directed someone else on a different thread, to Sheldon's site.

I know I did. However, I did search using google and also checked out miche's web site as I did, but didn't find anything. And so I asked on here :)

Yeah, was worried I got the Italian one but Cotic say 1,37x24BSC will fit, so should be fine.

Just got to wait for the post now, for my bb tool!
