Vintage wheel question
This is basic, but:
I'm looking for a set of 700c wheels that are 126mm to use with a freewheel.
Can I use a wheel with a Campy rear hub-----I assume the threads were the same back then before cassettes?
The rest of the bike is Suntour/Shimano
Thanks

Maybe. There are three major different threads for rear FreeWheels. French, Italian and English with the latter the most prevelent and the french least prevelent in the USA. the Italian and English are close enough but go to https://sheldonbrown.com/freewheels.html#threading for details.

126 is a common 70s 6-speed width.
