Make sure you also bring in the cups with you to the shop! The Miele could very well have a 36x1 threading. While made in Canada the miele brand was very heavily influenced by Ital bikes. I don't recall well enough to be sure but i suspect Miele is one of the exceptions to my previous comments about shell size.
Miele's were like English made Raleighs. If you got a good one they are nicer then many give credit to. But it's easy to get a Monday morning one (or as i use to say about Raleighs, one built after a 4 pint lunch...) Andy.
