OK here we go - I thought I had checked for this exact issue when I fitted the chainset, and sure enough there's taper to spare: And here is the chainline, 4th sprocket of 6 onto inner front: Returning to my original question, would a longer axle be spread 50/50 or all on the drive side?

I checked with Sheldon before I did it, and his advice is that its not generally a problem. I'll try and get a pic of the back side of the chainset to see if there is a gap to the end of the taper... watch this space. Chainrings are 42/52, chain line is eyeballed from the back of the bike when...

I bought a Raleigh gran sport frame and forks, which was originally fitted with a gran sport BB. When I got it it was fitted with a cheap FAG ISO BB, with an axle length of 119mm. To this I fitted a 7400 dura ace chainset, and the resulting chain line is about perfect. But I'd like to fit a...

Thanks for all the advice... I just finished rebuilding the freewheel... added new bearings and removed the thinnest shim... It's all good now, very very little slop. Don't fear the freewheel, get stuck in!

I just checked mine with a steel rule... more or less 3mm, so 1/8" it is. There are 3 shims under the lockring, which moved easily so you're probably right. No harm in getting some spare bearings though.

Thanks for the advice bikenut.... I finally won a campy record pista for a vaguely reasonable price (£40!) on gougebay so I'm sorted now. Thanks for the offer cij28, but I don't think your headset would have been low enough anyway.

I recently got a Maillard Course freewheel from another retrobiker. The freewheel itself is in good condition but there was a lot of slop of the freewheel on its body - about 2mm or so. So I've just opened it up - first time I've opened a freewheel, and shure enough, while the races are in good...

????? confused.

Aaay, but the Burner comes complete with brake cables.... :mrgreen:

Don't be fooled... a few years ago too wanted to get back into cycling, and I too was lured in by a flat bar fitness bike. It did the job in terms of getting me back into cycling, but for rides over an hour the position it puts your hands in and the lack of alternative positions meant that I...

I thought it was about time I brought this thread up to date. Over Christmas I replaced the golden arrow FD with a 7400 DA to match the rest of the drivetrain, fitted DA downtube shifters - love the friction / index option - and got hold of some Chorus Monoplanars and 105 levers. Sorry again...

Yeah thanks, but that's what's fitted on the bike at the moment. I want a vintage headset as per my original post.

Still looking for one of these...

Dibs on the SR 60mm stem...

Still looking for one of these...

Looking for a classic headset with a stack height of 34mm or less in good condition / working order. I *think* this means any of: Campagnolo 1039 Gran Sport Campagnolo 4141 Super Record Pista Shimano HP-1055 105SC Shimano HP-7600 Dura-Ace 7600

looking for one of these from a name brand (e.g. Maillard) in good condition / working order.

Thanks very much to everyone who helped with this, no disconnections at all and speeds remain high. Cheers!
