I am going to have one last attempt to get this working. To be honest i am not holding out too much hope and i am considering buying a new rear mech to replace the one that is there. REALLY not sure if this is a good thing or not but i am looking at the Shimano Tourney TX35 Rear Derailleur as...

Anyone know how to tension the gear cable on these things, what i have noticed is that when the selector is in the forward position which i think is the smallest cog, the cable is quite taught but is MUCH less taught in as i move it backwards to the larger cogs.

I'll have to have a play with it. I am pretty sure that i have tried all kinds of combinations with these screws. I cant remember for sure but i think i managed to get it working so that it went on the 4 smaller cogs but could not get it to get onto the largest cog.

OK Screwed in both of the screws and tooks some pics. One thing now though, i cannot pull the gear change lever (not sure if its the tightening of the screws that have done this) i am a bit clueless on this whole gear thing here. http://s452.photobucket.com/user/Leevis ... 8.jpg.html...

I'll do it tomorrow, just started raining large here. Just to confirm though, i will screw both down to the stops and take a picture.

Hmmm gears are a bit of a nightmare. I have taken out the gear cable but when i manually shift (move) the rear derailleur i cannot seem to get it to start on the smallest 'cog' and then move over to the largest 'cog'. I can get it to start at the smallest one using the adjusting screws but from...

Awesome chaps. Tell ya what mine has that i havent seen others have and thats the bottle holder AND the bottle :) Bottle was moved away from bike when i took the pics :) Just been to local bike shop and they gave me an adjusting screw for the rear brake so i should have that working again very...

Which bearing to be stripped and greased ? also where can i get Alexanders Brake Pads?

Bit of an update on what i have done so far. Wheels buckled beyond fixing so i bought some cheapo replacements from a local cycle shop. They will do until such time as i need to change them again. Replaced the tyres because these ones has disintegrated. They now have sexy blue ones on which...

OK Have not taken any pics as yet, but did manage to liberate bike from Dads garage and is now residing in my garage. Not totally rusted to death, some bits here and there. Is TOTALLY filthy though so i bought some hardcore cleaner and will be giving it a clean this week but i will take some...

I will sort some pics out, probably going to pick it up these week at some point, its behind LOADS of stuff at the mo so will take a while to get it out.

Hi All I was in my Dads garage the other day and discovered that my old racer was still in there from the early/mid 80s. Last time i used it must have been around 1988 or 1989. I am not really too sure what it is to be honest. Its definately a Raleigh and some research on the internet says that...
