I was wondering if any of you guys had a 70mm width bottom bracket going spare?
I'm trying to source a shorter axle for a frame with a raleigh bottom bracket. From the relevent Sheldon pages it says:-
"If the digit is "5" the spindle is made for in Italian-sized 70 mm shell, and may work in your Raleigh if it has a 71 mm shell."
Well mine is a 71mm bb and the axle that came out of mine has "5S" on it but is 128mm long which makes for a wide chainline. Therefore I was hoping to get a 70mm sealed unit and break out the axle to use with my existing cups - didn't really want to get a brand new one and break it up in case it's not compatible.
Thanks
Richard
PS - I'm in Reading so would need it posted.
