Anyone know if a freewheel will thread on a Mavic Ellipse hub?

It should. Standard cog threading, so any freewheel thread on freewheel should work.

Blasphemy.

yea they put extra theads on so that a freewheel fits safely and so that most cogs don't with out a spacer.
fricken fools but never the less I love my ellipse. and I beat the living hell out them

I KNOW its Blasphemy, but what can I say - I'm a wuss. Like to have that as a bailout.
