Where would I get a retro derailleur? I checked eBay, there was nothing the same.. also a few other sales places.. found nothing. If possible I would have replaced it with the exact same model that was fitted from new, but unfortunately I couldn’t find one. That’s not to say that I won’t keep...

Thank you for the advice.. I will check through those points a little later and update with what I find. I do believe that the parts are all compatible.. the rear cluster is Shimano 6 speed, the rear derailleur is Shimano Tourney 6 speed (new), the chain is Shimano 6 speed (also new).. the...

The chain is brand new (Shimano), and yes the noise is only happening in the smallest ring.. regardless of what gear the rear cluster is in.. the second I drop into the smallest front cog, the noise starts.. it’s not just a noise.. you can actually see the jockey wheel carrier (or whatever it’s...

The teeth are elongated towards the right hand side in this picture.. some are worse than others..

I’m not entirely sure of the brand of the cranks.. they are made in France, so I’d guess it’s likely that they are Sachs.. the front derailleur is Sachs yes 👍🏻 No the individual rings are riveted together, so can’t be replaced separately.. I will have to replace them as a set. It’s only the...

Hi all, so since getting my Raleigh Lizard back on the road, I’ve noticed a clicking through the drivetrain whilst in the smallest front cog.. under closer inspection, I can see that the teeth are far more worn than the other two cogs, creating an offset sort of shape between teeth. I’d like to...

The lizard is back up and running again.. fitted with a new Shimano Tourney rear derailleur, and Shimano chain. The original Shimano SIS derailleur was so worn that it just couldn’t be adjusted to change smoothly. With the new gears and chain, it’s good as new 👌🏻 Thanks to anyone who gave...

Thanks for the link, I will double check the adjustment’s just to be certain that it can’t be rectified, if only temporarily 👍🏻

I’ve looked again and still believe that the hanger is not bent.. I’ve taken another picture.. it’s really difficult to capture what the eye sees. But if you look at the angle of the upper jockey wheel in comparison to the cluster gears.. it’s not only cambered in towards the wheel, but also has...

I always loved mine.. the paint job was really unique. Here’s mine 👍🏻

Thankfully these aren’t too bad.. there are a few spots, but nothing to make them look untidy.
