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.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
