Had the first ride out on my latest purchase today. Saracen Kili Team from 1997 It needed quite a bit of work. Removal of all the peeling decals was fun. The chainset, chain, cassette and jockey wheels were worn out. Headset had shredded bits of ball bearings in it. Had an odd set of wheels on...

123mm English 68mm The BB-CS20 could be asymmetric so a modern sealed cartridge one may need to be different size. Here's a photo of it apart. The adapter cup (black plastic) goes on the drive side and the steel cup / shell goes on the non-drive side.

£35 for the wheels collected £65 for the groupset plus £7 postage with RM Tracked 48 (Medium Parcel 2.5kg)

Yep no problem. If the wheels can be picked up I can send the rest by post.

I have just done mine and I used a small flat head screwdriver to hold the cone in position while I tightened the lockring (counter-clockwise) onto drive side the cone - takes a few goes to get the correct pre-load with no play and not too tight, but can be done. I used a long spark plug socket...

I bought this 1997 Saracen Kili-Team from the car boot sale last week. Poor thing has has a hard life. I've stripped it down and it needs a few new parts. The chainset is a Deore LX FC-M569. The fitted BB was a UN-72 108mm, which seems a bit too short for a triple. Seeing as the chainset...
