Yeah, I am confused on the threading on this bottom bracket.

It says 1.370 x 24 which means the threads are English-sized, right?

But I had to turn the drive-side to the right/clockwise to remove it and the non-drive side left/counter-clockwise, so that makes it seem like it is Italian threaded, but in reverse of what is listed here: http://www.sheldonbrown.com/gloss_ta-o.html#threading

Bizarre.
