Raleigh Sensor
Picked up an old Raleigh Sensor which needs work and as a
novice I'm lost. Is there a web site which covers chain, gear and brake cable replacement? Also is there a way of decideing chain size without counting the links? Raleigh web site just refers me to my local dealer, 120 miles away from the north of Scotland. Thanks -- The Big Man |

Raleigh didn't make any of the above components. It should be very easy to get standard replacements from any bike shop. Chains and cables are a piece of cake to replace. You didn't say what type of gears it has or what exactly the problem is. > Also is there a way of decideing chain size without > counting the links? Why would you not count the links? Raleigh web site just refers me to my local dealer, 120 miles away from the Thr current "Raleigh" company is far removed from the original Nottingham organisation. > > Thanks > > -- > The Big Man |

Better to leave it a bit long. |
