I'm trying to help track down a 26 tpi bottom bracket for an old Raleigh
bike. Shell width: 76mm, axle: pref 132mm.

Any ideas for a source?

Great service.

Thanks Tony. They don't have all the required parts listed but I'll bet
they'll be able to advise further.

Will a [censored] fit?

Give them a ring. I received lots of help and advice when restoring an old
Raleigh.

Not unless they do a Raleigh special (?). 26 tpi is a defunct Raleigh
standard.

[censored] BBs don't use the threads. They're held in place by their own
lockrings.

Cheers. I've passed the info on -- I was actually enquiring on behalf of
someone else who in turn was enquiring on behalf of a friend (in Germany).
Chain cycle advice!

Oh those types (I thought they did ordinary BBs as well).

Thanks, that's an interesting idea then. What about the required axle and
the unusual shell width (76mm)?

I've had a look at a German site selling [censored] and they all seem to be
BSA threaded these days :-(

However, YST do one in 127mm: http://www.sjscycles.com/store/item4521.htm

SJSC could probably advise if it would fit a wider BB shell. It looks
as if it would, depending on how far the LH lockring is screwed in.

There is a German outfit that imports Indian Atlas bikes. I cannot find
their details but assiduous Googling may find them. They advertise on e-bay
from time to time.

I am not sure what threads the Indians now use -- they have probably gone
over to BS 24 tpi but there is a chance they are 26 tpi.

No idea about shell width etc.
