    bought a old raleigh roadster, the bb is fubar (paul ;o( )
    the bearings are in races that have been ground to pulp, so i am gonna put in loose bearings.
    halfrauds used to sell bags of them, but no longer do.
    where can i buy them loose.

    I know Edinburgh Bicycle sell them for about £1.50 a pack, with a little tube of lithium grease.

    if they have been ground up – dont hold any hope of getting it to run smooth , the surfaces will be pitted to **** !

    any GOOD LBS will sell them !

    If you replace the BB and it’s a really old Raleigh, just be careful. They used a different thread to the normal (BSA) thread.

    We just used to screw the BSA one in with a longer spanner and plenty grease. 🙂
