So only on the more bog standard models? I have noticed they're quite messy looking in places, it's an heavy old thing. Love it though.

Thanks for your replies, how come they're only prominent on the head tube lugs, is it because of the length of those ones? The one in the recently uploaded pic looks a bit skew.

I think I've managed to take a better pic of the worse one, will just upload in a second. Thanks

Hi Rtrobike community I've just discovered some unhealthy looking lines that run down the centre of the head tube lugs on my Raleigh Yukon. At first I thought they might be some sort of seam but now I'm not so sure as the one at the top isn't straight. I'm worried these might be cracks...

Nice find, I'd personally keep it original if the fit is good. You can't go wrong with a lugged steel frame and an old Raleigh is an iconic thing. I've never personally ridden road bike with 501 tubing but if my old Raleigh 501 tubed MTB is anything to go by it'll be a good balance between of...

Hi retrobikers Does anyone happen to have a Shimano EX300 road rear derailleur they'd be willing to sell? The spring in the one on my bike has worn so it's not working as it should. Would it be possible to replace the spring even and if so does anyone know what spring it would accept? I'd...

There's a story attached to this bike and it has a lot to do with last years announcement that Bob Jackson would be closing its doors for good.

I'm in a similar predicament, I need to replace a Shimano EX300 rear derailleur with a worn spring. I'm currently running mine with the spring in the highest tension position but now can't use the two lowest gears, so cranking my bike up steeper hills in 3rd sprocket. I'll have to put out a...

My old Raleigh Yukon has 130mm rear spacing, my current generic wheel is 135mm so the back forks are srung to accommodate it. I have a Shimano Tiagra road hub spare and thinking about getting it built into wheel with a Halo White Line 26" rim, obviously with the correct spacers for the 7 speed...

Re: Thanks you, I'll get on to ordering some.

Hi What type of brake pad would I need when replacing the worn ones on my old cantilevers (rear) . The bike is an early '90s Rayleigh Yukon. I can't find any info anywhere on what pads I'd need. I was looking at Koolstop, the thinline ones look like they're for V brakes but they have a pad...

Re: Raleigh Max brochure Like this one

Re: Raleigh Max brochure Found this in my attic, had this since 97 and shows the model range for the following year. I got a Max Cromo 2 for Christmas 97, I loved that bike, thinking back it was probably two sizes too big for me. Sadly long lost. I think they were the last of the British...

That's a beaut.

Re: Here's the components list for the Raleigh Yukon found in a sorry state in a bric a brac shop, bought for £35 Schwalbe black jack tyres 26x1.90 (wish they did beige walls) Cheap Shimano FC-TY501 48,38,28T crankset, (I'm afraid the original biopace was badly worn) BB is an old Shimano...

Re: Yukon Thanks ibbz, I haven't unfortunately but I could put one together along with what I did to get it working.

Re: Yukon Here's a pic my Yukon while out doing my Deliveries. My only MTB £35 from a house bric a brac shop back in February, the drive train was worn, shifters gunked up and back rim dented, someone had inserted the wrong diameter seat post and over compensated to clamp to the smaller...

Re: "I took my last clean dirty shirt out of the wardrobe" The Fall were a great band.

Re: Would it be possible to use a smaller diameter seatpost with some sort of shim?

Re: Did Chris Porter sometimes go under the alias of Chris P Noodles in the write ups when they were testing the bikes? The Green Intense DH rings a bell, it was green and black with yellow writing if IIRC.
