$30 Raleigh M50 Rescue: Worth It?

[@Bruceanddenise]

I'm looking at clean M50 right now. Thanks for showing the detail on the bottom bracket.

Thank you, and thanks for watching!!

A very tidy bike with many years faithful service left in it! Watching from the home of the Raleigh... England!

Thanks for watching!!

I just bought one in almost new condition. All it needs are new handgrips, that’s it. I love the old school mountain bikes.

Thanks for watching!!

[@mattcameron9349]

You were very lucky with that bottom-bracket. I've NEVER had one come off easy!!

[@TheValueBikeAdvocate]

That was one of the easiest ones I’ve ever removed. Thanks for watching!!

Last year I put Shwalbe Marathon touring tires on my '98 M50 so I could ride the paved rail trails in my area a little easier. Really enjoying riding it! Glad to see you putting another one back in service. Been a good one to me.

ive only seen that type of front derailer hanger once. it was on a cannondale 20" kids mtb

[@TheValueBikeAdvocate]

Thanks for watching. Thats interesting...

[@yourdadsgarage.6225]

It's an e type derailer. Don't know what that means but I pulled one off a MOTIVE bike.

[@TheValueBikeAdvocate]

Thanks for the info and thanks for Watching!!!!

Do you not have a problem with the chain skipping when u put a new chain on a worn cassette? Its always been a problem for me buddy

[@TheValueBikeAdvocate]

Thanks for watching! If the cassette is worn you will have that issue. Normally I use 1 cassette to every 2 or 3 chains.

I’m from Orlando and for whatever reason, Raleigh just doesn’t sell here. Sucks as they aren’t really that bad and have just as much potential as say a Specialized Hardrock or a Trek 3500. Same standard sizes so I’m not sure why they don’t sell here. I could put better wheels and an upgraded 1x10 drivetrain with a wider bar and short stem and I’m not sure if I’d get $100.

[@TheValueBikeAdvocate]

Thanks for watching. Just about anything priced around $120 a $150 that’s in good condition sells. I’m not going to get rich doing this but it sure is fun.
