[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]I have a late 70’s early 80’s BSA “The Prima” (Raleigh) bike and wonder if anyone can tell me what size the top and bottom headset (loose) bearings are likely to be. It’s a 1” threaded headset and was only a cheapish bike even when new, so shouldn’t be anything exotic.[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]I stupidly thought that replacing something as simple as the bearings would not be a problem, so I didn’t bother to pick them up when they all fell out and now I can’t find any of them![/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]This is my first bike rebuild and I should have known better than to assume anything, bearing in mind all the other weird sizes on old bikes, not to mention Raleigh’s own take on things.[/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Any help would be much appreciated.[/SIZE][/FONT]
Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.
Tips:
Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----
To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word
To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word
Embed images by entering: ![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png) That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.
* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks
1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
> Quote text by starting lines with >
Mention another user by @username
For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:
```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
