do you have a well stocked Hardware store near you? Take one with you, match it to any diameter bolt's thread... you now know the pitch of the part in question... A Proper matched thread will lock onto the sample thread, No Slop or rocking, no light showing when silhouetted.

PS, A .75mm Pitch threads are REALLY RARE.. and Mavic is a French company,. sooooo... yep, probably a .75mm pitch See: Peugeot BB threads, Peugeot headset diameters, Simplex, MAFAC, etc.
