Does the Mavic Ellipse Lockring Thread Normally?
i bought a Mavic Ellipse today (2nd hand) and i wanted to change the Cog cause its a 17 and i wanted to change it to a 15. I was just wondering if the lock ring of my Mavic Ellipse threads normally? When turning counter clockwise (Left) it Tightens, and when turning it Clockwise (Right) will loosen it? Because i don't know the "French Treading" but i know that you can only use the Mavic Lockring and you can use any brand of Cog
Thank you for the Answer!
Thank you for the Answer!

All track lock rings are LH threaded, precisely because track sprockets are RH threaded.

When you take that cog off make sure you clean and degrease, that is some nasty sludge.

By now for the export world market, the fixed/pista cog is British thread its the lockring that varies among hub makers .
. as wide as the lock ring thread is, I suspect they used Aluminum for the weight savings.. on that

@seamuis: Tell that to my Swiss made Cilo's bottom bracket (which was not Swiss threaded as I thought and gathered from a little research). Also tell it to some old headsets and cranks and possibly some other stuff.

*Only* use mavic lockrings on ellipses. They use an uncommon 33x1mm "french" thread as mentioned above.
Avoid the most-common lockring threading of 1.29x24 TPI which is your Dura Ace, all-city, formula, etc.
Also avoid, the 1.32x24 TPI threading which is found on Philwood, Miche, and Campy.
"TPI" denotes imperial measurements. "mm" is metric.

i was taking the piss mate. I’m well aware of the different threadings. Lol, It’s literally visible in the photo above. Not surprised you would be the first to think you had an opportunity to pounce.

Any decent wheelset with decent rims, hubs and spokes would be fine for a criterium race. But to more directly answer your question: yes. Just be aware that if you were to break a spoke, it’s likely going to cost you more to replace those flat-bladed straight-pull (or as mavic calls them: “ultra-bladed”) spokes. Ellipse wheels don’t have a reputation specifically, of doing that, that I’m aware of, but mavic wheels more generally, do. Ellipse wheels are pretty popular among criterium racers, so you will likely not be alone in your races, with these wheels. Good luck in your races, and cheers mate.
