    Can you take a few pics of the bottom bracket shell? Seeing how it looks may let us know what else could be used instead. There may be another solution that will fit.

    Me thinks that would take a shimano square taper bb. http://www.wiggle.co.uk/shimano-bb-un55 ... sh-thread/

    This should fit british threaded bb shell like yours. I would be very suprised if a raleigh took anything else. You could even use external cup type bb if you want to upgrade your chainset.

    So long as the axle length is the same as the one above it should be compatible

    Thanks to Paul Onabike for the link where the 3P seems to be the one and...

    thanks to Maglia Rosa for the Wiggle link.
    I just need to stop dithering and choose. :wink:

    That's me sacked then.
    In defence of meself though, it is around 23 years old and I also blame it on my LG kc910 super Renoir macro, which doesn't make allowances for the shakes, when it was done.
