Raleigh folding bike


Recommended Posts

Folding bike. Works well, but is a bit tatty and needs some TLC to improve the rear brakes. I've recently replaced the rear tyre tube, rear pads, the cable, and both brake handles (so they match!) but can't seem to make the rear brakes as strong as they used to be.


The front brakes are sharp and work well.

I fitted a comfort seat and will include this and the original seat in the sale.

Hi, I?m not sure how old. I bought it used 2 years ago.


I?m not sure what?s required to repair the brakes. It?s a really simple system, and I?ve replaced all the components so I?m giving up! The brake handles were ?7 each, the cable anouther ?5 or so, and the pads about the same. All from Halfords.


Aside from the rear brake it?s only got paint damage.

    • Moving into a new place and need both a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideally collection Friday. Thanks!
    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's.

    • In restaurant terms I would say a chain manifests when the motivation is no longer “we are a couple/small group who have an idea and love food” who open a restaurant, them another and then a few more BUT THEN PIVOT to “we need capital to rollout out new restaurants so we have leveraged the help of the following investors”  that is the moment it stops being about the chef/food on the plate and becomes about the spreadsheet  so it is POSSIBLE  for a restaurant to have 50 branches and not be a chain - but I can’t think of any  I don’t know chango - by based on the number of outlets they appear to have just crossed/or are about to cross that line
