Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

There are a number of thread possibilities, all looking pretty similar.

Common on many better bikes is a metric 10x1mm thread. Others include 3/8"x either 24 or 26tpi.

You have to match the thread exactly, otherwise, you'll make things worse rather than better. Bring whatever is good to a bike shop, and they'll fit possible matches trial and error, to find EXACTLY what you need.
