  1. Hi

    Raleigh Mercury, early 1990’s, pink and white 12 speed.

    Bought this the other day second hand. Lovely bike, just need to change bar tape and fine tune gears.
    I’ve just noticed a problem with the front chainrings though. When it spins it has some sideways movement, in other words it firstly catches the front derailleur when it spins and I’ve noticed that the small chainwheel has eaten into the paintwork on the chainstay tube. It is not loose as BB is fine and tight, it’s just that somehow it’s been ?bent with obvious sideways movement into and out of the bike frame.

    How do I get the right size replacement to ensure it fits onto the BB without major changes needed??

    Thanks

    Ian
