I wonder if your lockring should be an ISO and you've got a larger diametered Miche standard. (Miche makes both so the name Miche on it won't tell you. Might see if another lockring threads on easily.
Huh, so there are different sized lockings? This might be the case because, the hub is an older style anyway. Do you know this diameter measure? Otherwise I'll try all the 3 different lock rings I have.
