| Web site to help fix bearings on an old Raleigh? hi all, I've got an old Raleigh 3 speed, probably a zillion of them made, and I need to replace the bearings down where the pedals are--the bearings mounting in the frame that support the axle that the pedals push on. I don't know how to take the thing apart, or where to get parts. I was hoping there'd be info on the web to help me do it. These are great bikes--cheap, simple, and very durable. thanks in advance |

| Re: Web site to help fix bearings on an old Raleigh? Sheldon Brown's site (previously posted) is a good place to start. Keep us posted (pun intended) BTW: is the crank a single piece? (ie: the pedalcranks and crankshaft are the same piece of metal) If not, are the cranks held on the crankshaft with cotter pins? Just how old IS this beast?? |
