Edit: let me double check the measurement when I get home... I'm not 100% sure I didn't switch the thread pitch
Good, I am glad that it happened to you as well. They sent me two balls, each in individual packages that were both mislabelled. I tried the same as you. Wouldn't work. Took one (purchased previously) off of another bike and tried it. It worked just fine. I compared threads and sure enough they were wrong. Took them to a hardware store just to verify the threading with one of their thread gauges then called GPSCity (where I purchased them). They treated me like I was a schmuck and didn't know what I was talking about but when ahead and sent another batch of two. What do you know, the new batch was correctly labelled and threaded.
