Raleigh Magnum All Terrain
Hi all,
I need help identifying the bottom bracket for the Raleigh Magnum All Terrain. There is little on the web about this model, but here is an example: 'http://www.re-buy-cycle.co.uk/details.php?id=174' or tiny url: http://tinyurl.com/d9azvg8 The shell looks like it's 68mm but the non-driveside cup has a 6-sided nut on the outside. Am I looking at a non-standard Raleigh size here? Also the shell looks like it has a larger than usual (?) diameter. Approx 6cm from reckoning. (Pictures sent but possibly will be rejected by server; if so, standby). |

That would be, what? 1981? 1982? Unlikely to be any special thread or format. Doesn't appear British built so I'd bet on 1.370" x 24t BSC. Why? Could be rebuilt with new bearings and if it's ruined consult here again. Or, to change to a more modern crank set, just buy the matching crank bearing assembly when you get the crank. Regarding photos, can't post them to this part of usenet but you can upload your snaps somewhere else and link as you did above. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |

The bottom bracket looks to be a an American BMX sized cup and cone arrangement with press in cones. Bearings are caged 5/16". |

If the link you sent previously: http://www.re-buy-cycle.co.uk/details.php?id=174&temp=4 is indeed the bike in question, they are standard 1/4" bearings in a standard square taper format. If you have some other bicycle, I don't know. Note that in the 1980s, Raleigh was suffering the throes of change deeply, existentially for some divisions. Divisions were sold or merged or closed, outside contractors changed frequently and tradenames/trademarks were licensed here and there as well. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |
