Got a 3 speed Raleigh that needs to be turned into something more useful. Sheldon suggests that maybe it could have the BB threads re cut to something more universal eg British. Anyone done this with any success?
There are second hand ones available if you look around
I have a mavic thread less one which I can give away free - but needs to be opened and serviced as its rough as a ninja - not sure what spindle length u need
I had some success with getting a standard cartridge BB. I found even though the wrong tpi it would go quite a way in before binding so I just filed off enough of the thread so that it fitted flush. Then used I bit of locking compound and found it rode fine.
