Re threading a Raleigh BB shell

Re: Re:

Or you can get a Raleigh threaded bottom bracket for £16 brand new here :

Is that a Raleigh-threaded (26 tpi) bottom bracket, or just a Raleigh (branded) bottom bracket?

I'm not sure
I guess so as Raleigj don't have such Bb on their website
Could call to ask

I'm not sure

To judge by the part code here (VP BC80) it's a rebranded VP unit, 24 tpi.

Raleigh 26 tpi shells used odd widths - typically 76mm. The "Raleigh" VP unit is decribed as suitable for a 68mm shell.

Thanks for clarifying that man. I did a search for Raleigh threaded and that came up - I assumed wrong though.

But there are budget thread less available

Re:

Not too worried about width, I can sort that out. Threadless is viable but just not free

You can get 73mm threadless cartridge BB's so thats only 3mm of BB shell to remove, 1.5mm each side.

To be honest I was planning on re threading then bunging in a MTB external BB .
