    Different Bars

    I want to change these bars out on this bike. They have me way too stretched out. This bike, as you can see, has index shifting. Can I somehow go back to stock bars and put another form of index shifting on? Is that possible?

    Raleigh Olympian

    I was given this bike and have been deciding if it's worth putting back on the trails. I like it well enough. I'm a Raleigh Fan. (I haven't been on here in quite awhile. The old car hobby came back. I used to be big into the 3 speeds) It needs the usual maintenance and replacing crusty tires...

    Where Have They Gone.....

    I was looking for Raleigh Record Ace or Lenton 3 speed bikes, but there just aren't any out there. Are people hanging on to them these days?

    Handlebar Comfort

    I have this 1978 Raleigh Super Grand Prix that I can't seem to be comfortable on. I'm putting too much weight on my hands and within a minute I can feel the pain. Why? The saddle is as high as it needs to be, I assume. The handlebar stem is as high as it can be. I have moved the saddle forward...

    Handlebar Set-Up

    Here is my 1977 Raleigh Record Limited. (I did put it up on eBay, but in case it doesn't sell I'm thinking ahead) Before I bought it there were many improvements made to the bike and it's a great rider, but I can't get used to how far stretched out I feel. I've ridden it on a ride for 70+ miles...

    700c VS 27"

    This bike ('78 Raleigh) came to me with 700 rims and 700x25C tires. The bike shop sold me some used 700x28C Gatorskin tires. These fit on the front just fine, but might be a bit too big to put on the rear without deflating the tire completely. Now, this morning I was looking through my parts...

    Center-Pull Brakes

    Are these complicated to work on? I’d like to take them apart and clean them up. They seem to work just fine as is. They are on my recently acquired ‘78 Raleigh Super Grand Prix.

    1978 Raleigh Super Grand Prix

    Looks like I can't stay away from Raleigh bikes. I had to bring this one home. It was less than $100 so I didn't think that was too bad. It doesn't appear to need too much. Does it look like it's all original? The wheels may not quite match. The brochures all show the bike as having 'Bar...

    Motobecane Nomad

    Not far from me, 40 miles, is a fairly clean looking Nomad. It's silver. Has stem shifters. It appears to be all there. Looks quite rideable, but probably could use a cleaning, greasing and maybe new tires. He is asking $50. What can you tell me about these bikes? This model? I've always been a...

    Brooks B17 Saddle

    I haven't had this saddle very long. I really like it. When I sit on it I'm sure that it is 'flattening out'. Should I try tightening it up or lacing the bottom?

    Chain Tangle!

    Well, I had a couple good days, then this...... No idea why? It'll shift the rear fine, tightly, but fine. Occasionally it'll slip, but I can feather it where it should be. (maybe that's not fine) The front was doing ok till this morning. Coming back from work and this after I shifted to high...

    10 Speed Slipping

    I finally have the BSA off the stand and outside on the road.....for about 2 minutes! The chain (new) was slipping and, even thought it was nearly perfect on the stand, the chain jumped off between the sprocket and plate on the front. I guess I have more adjusting to do on the front deraiuller...

    Rear Wheel Spacing

    Does this look right? It doesn't to me. It looks too far to the left. I had the axle out, but never took the left cone off. You see in this picture that I don't have the the derailleur on yet. Not sure if that makes a difference. The right side has an extra washer. Thoughts?

    10 Speed Wheel Rebuild

    This is on my '72 BSA. I'm hoping to take it apart and clean and grease it. Are these hard to work on? Any videos on it? Special tools?

    Trust This Tire?

    I bought these a few weeks ago for my current project. I put one on the front rim this morning and have this. Would you trust this? This is at 60PSI. Luckily I have a new set headed across the country from another source!

    Chainwheel Rubbing

    Sorry for all the pictures. I seem to be having no end of.......'fun' with this one. I have 2 out of the 3 bolt heads rubbing on the frame. As you can see it was doing it somewhere down the line before I came along, but not before i removed it. Have I got it assembled incorrectly? Are the...

    Huret Allvit Adjustment

    Before I take this '72 BSA apart for an overhaul and clean-up I thought I'd play with the shifting. I know the one brief time I rode it I quickly shifted it down and lodged the chain between the low gear and protector plate! Now I seem to have fixed that, but I can't seem to get it to shift into...

    Bluetooth Helmet

    Has anyone tried one of these? I've seen them and they are expensive, but I'm considering one. Maybe just speakers that go inside your current helmet? Would they block out traffic sounds too much? The bluetooth speaker on my handlebars just looks too big and bulky on there. Thoughts?

    Fenders For Raleigh Record

    I'm confused and all over the map here! I'm looking for a set of black plastic (or cream color) fenders for my 1975 Raleigh Record. The tires on it are 27x1-1/4. The trouble is that I am just not good with measurements and such. Anyone able to point me in the right direction for what size I...

    1972 BSA 10 Speed

    I bought this off ebay recently. It's probably nothing extremely rare. I thought it was interesting. It's very much like a 1964 Raleigh Sports I've seen floating around the internet. This bike intrigues me. It has nearly, if not exactly, the same dimensions as a Raleigh Sports 3 speed bike. The...

    Shorter Crank Arms

    In looking for another bike, I see a lot of them that are too short for me. I really need a 23” frame, but I see lots of 21” frames. I have ridden 21” frames before and felt they were quite comfortable. I got to thinking yesterday, what if I were to get one of those shorter bikes and then...

    26x1-3/8 Aluminum Rim

    I know I've found this elsewhere, but it escapes me. What is the aluminum (or lighter material) replacement for these old British rims that still fit 26x1-3/8 tires in 32 & 40 hole? Thanks

    British Parts Collection (**Withdrawn**)

    I’m no longer finding an interest in this area of the hobby. I’ll most likely always have a bike or two, but it’s time to part with my British three speed parts and final bike. It was hot tonight so I took a few pictures and did the best I could. The bike is a 1968-1970 Raleigh Sports that...

    Motobecane Mirage

    Yesterday I was looking at a 1978-1980 Motobecane Mirage for sale. No pictures yet. The paint looks really good, graphics are nice. It needs new tires and a tune-up. Otherwise it looks really good and rideable. It's at $150. Are these good bikes? I read mixed reviews on them.

    Brake Adjustment 101

    I've been collecting, working on and riding these old British bikes for a few years now. I'm actually done with the collecting aspect, just riding now. One problem I've always had is how to properly adjust these brakes. It seems I'm always getting them too loose or too tight. Another annoyance...

    Raleigh Record Shifting Woes

    I know this isn't very old, but maybe someone could help before I take this to a bike shop. I bought this '75 Raleigh Record off of a guy on eBay. He converted it over to new mechanicals. It has click shifters. I'm sure they're called something else. The rear works fine, but the front does not...

    Road Bike Frame Differences

    How much different are Road Bike Frames vs Sit Up Bikes Frames? At a bike swap meet yesterday I test rode 2 road bikes that were clearly too short for me. I am 6' tall so I figure I need a 23" frame. These were 21" or a little shorter, perhaps. Instantly they were very comfortable to ride! No...

    Double Ended Brake Cables

    I'm looking to put new cables on my '51 Rudge. I have seen the knarps and have thought about that, but I would like to try making original looking double ended ones. I've watched the videos and I think I could do it. Anyone ever try? Also, and the reason for bringing this up, does cable stretch...

    Chain & Sprockets

    I'm going to look for a new sprocket for my bike that I was working on this weekend. What is the difference between the dished and non-dished sprockets? Does it matter? I would be looking for 16, 17 & 20. Also, I am used to buying Bell brand chain from Wal Mart. Is that chain ok? Should I be...

    Sturmey Archer Issues

    I have an AW hub that just won't cooperate! For some reason as I pedal in most any gear the entire wheel shifts to the left and locks up. I have had this hub just apart enough to grease the bearings, loosening it from the drive side. It sounds good, shifts good, but locks up. I took the wheel...

    Sturmey Archer Question

    I have had this on a couple of my hubs that I can't fit two of the X49 spacers in place as it shows and the sprocket is wobbly and loose. It should have 2, shouldn't it? Is it because the hub might need some sort of adjustment? What have I done wrong?

    Weird Shipping Issue?

    Is this weird or normal? I can't tell. I finally found one of my much sought after 26x1-1/4 rims (just the hoop) in the UK. It was on eBay. The buyer has done everything right so far as I can see. The package made it from the UK to Illinois then headed to New York and the tracking history shows...

    Wobbly Chain Ring

    I have a Raleigh chain ring and I've noticed that it has a slight wobble to it. Not enough to look horrible, but just enough to notice. Could I assume that in time that would wear the bearings out in the Sturmey Archer hub and possibly the bottom bracket?

    Ok. More questions. I'm getting geared up for the Bacoon Ride in June and it's 70+ miles. I know I've talked about it before and was hoping to do it on a 3 speed.

    26" vs 27" Wheels

    How much difference does 26x1-3/8 wheel/tire vs 27x1-1/4 wheel/tire make? I know the latter can be higher pressure, but the the taller wheel make a difference when it comes to going faster?

    Rudge Whitworth Model 123

    I am selling my Rudge Whitworth. I bought it on here. I had always wanted a bike with a full chain case, but, at 21" this is just too short for me. I'll most likely not get around to working on it. The serial number is: 61826 AJ. This is most likely a 1946-1948 Model #123. Priced at $200 and...

    I'm trying to find a set like these. This is from 1947. I bought the Soma Lauterwasser bars and they are great, but as you may have noticed from my other post, I'm not completely satisfied with them. The brochure calls them Maes Bend. Is there anything out there that comes close? Is it going...

    1951 Rudge Aero Clubman

    I've decided to try and sell this. I must be losing interest in bikes or something. I went through this bike and gave it a tune-up. I added a new Gyes Saddle and Bluemel type fenders. Also new tubes and tires. I've ridden it around the block only a couple times. The hub is a 1951 AW and I think...
