Chain for Raleigh Winner '10 speed racer'
- Thread starter Al1000
- Start date
Thanks for all the advice. I finally got round to ordering the parts today.
That's what I ended up going for. I recall Shimano gears as something to aspire to having from when I was a teenager. In the end, I just bought a 6 speed 14-28T Shimano freewheel and compatible chain when I spotted an ebay seller selling both together.
It wouldn't shift onto the smallest cog if the washer wasn't there; the mechanism is at the limit of its adjustment. I may have to add another washer when I swap the 5 speed freewheel for a 6 speed, assuming there's enough adjustment left at the "other end" (sorry I don't know the correct terms, but hope you know what I mean).
If the gear shift mechanism doesn't have enough range to handle a 6 speed freewheel, I'll take it back to BikeStation where I bought it for £1 and swap it over for another one.
