That's the little bugger.
Dia Compe used to do a cranked one that fitted on one side.
Yeah it would! Sorry to say...why clutter up such a sexy skinny back end with big fat heavy Weinnman centre pulls and all of their associated hardware. Now I've changed the 40 year old pads there's a massive improvement and black rubber lines are visible on the rims. I like the Raleigh branding as it tells the story of how Gerald O'Donovan would have had to have a word with the right manager at the Nottingham factory for stock components such as bars, stem, saddle, rims, mudguards, brakes and levers. The Campagnolo trouser guard would have come from the Carlton factory at Worksop as it was specific to the US export market Raleigh Professional MkV...mind you I've changed the saddle so I can now attach a big fat saddle bag to hide my skinny back end...I've got a headache now. .
Dia Compe do one that fits on one side under the fixing bolt. Edit may have mentioned that in another thread, I'm confused
Many thanks for the kind offer but feel that I should keep it original. When I first got the bike i did consider a Campagnolo upgrade but with a standard reach the front caliper was still too short. I remember my first new racing bike a Dawes Chevron had Weinnman 730's on steel rims, with alloy rims and modern brake pads they feel much better...
