Raleigh m trax 500 problems
Hi iv just came across your post for the raleigh 853 and was looking for some advice. I have a raleigh m trax 500 and I am having alot of bother trying to fit triple chainrings. At the moment its 9spd not sure if this is part of the problem? It ranges from the top chainring rubbing on the frame to the Derailleur catching chainrings and rubbing on on the chain badly. Iv been to local bike shops and not had much success. Any advice on this or what parts you have used would be great. Thankyou.

Re: Raleigh m trax 500 problems
I'd say it's a toss up between needing a longer spindle in the BB, or a compact drive chainset if that's not what you're already trying to fit??

Loving the wheels....
I’ve not been down the bb route yet just a spacer. I’ve also found that I couldn’t get the Derailleur high enough to miss the top chainring because of the rear shock mount. It’s the same frame as the one shown in the photo just a different model. All the cable guides are there for it but I’ve never been able to find any information on what was originally fitted. I will check the length of the bb and try a longer spindle as you suggest.
