It's a Shimano BB, and an SR Custom chainset.

OK. So had the BB threads chased and new Shimano BB installed. Popped on the chain rings this a.m. and was surprised at how little clearance there is between chain stay and teeth on inner chainring. What do we think - good to go? Or get a BB with a longer square taper shaft?

Re: Hub is unknown, Shaun. It's from a Halfords bike that had a wheel upgrade. Can you give me some ideas of a new wheel set of the correct vintage??

Re: Okay. The old freewheel was 7 speed and I am going back to a 6 speed. Would that 6 speed freewheel not be narrower than the 7 that came off? Hence, making the reduction on either side feasible?? My thinking was that the additional 2mm either side on the effective length of the axle could...

OK. I had the wrong size of hub forced into my 126 mm Raleigh frame. When I removed the wheel I realised it was a freewheel hub so upon removing the freewheel (7 speed) I was left with this... So how can I modify this to make it a 126 mm. OLN. Can I just take off the two outer lock nuts and...

Re: I don't think I should need a vice or chain whip. The freewheel screws onto the hub

Ah well, pushed the button now - not the end of the world @ £2.99 anyhow

Hi all, I have a rear wheel with what I believe is a seven speed screw on freewheel asp er the attached photo. Can someone advise please the tool required to remove this? I tried a Shimano cassette lockring tool but think I might need the freewheel remover type tool. Many thanks, D.

Thanks Shaun. I like the idea of the cartridge bearings too.

Hi all, Just looking a little help here. I have the above bike model and the threaded headset has brinelled, so it is time for a replacement. Head tube length (height) has been measured with the cups removed at 175mm. and the fork steerer tube (from the bottom of the fork crown race) is...

Bottle cage bolts worked a treat - thanks all!!

Hi all, Just about to rattle can spray a Raleigh frame. I was going to simply thread some set screw into the mudguard threaded holes. Does anyone have any idea what thread size they are? Rear derailleur is M10 x 1, I have a couple of bottle cage set screws I can use for bottle cage mounts...

Very nice sir - seems pretty clean. Good luck with it

very nice, and quite unusual rear derailleur cabling, and brake calipers, like it!!

Are these 27" wheels? or 700C?

What is the spacing on the rear hub? Is it 126mm. or 130mm.?

Hi, Does anyone know the codes or RAL numbers for the cream yellow and white used on the Raleigh 501 Kellogg's Pro Tour? Thanks, D.

Thanks mate - sorry I needed a 126.

So MrW, does Jonny's original advice still hold true? Thanks, D
