Raleigh Chiltern, new to the forum, in need of some advice =)

Hi,


I have a 1980's Raleigh Chiltern men's bike, and some time ago i managed to break the bottom axle. I have since brought a replacement and have fitted the new axle, however it seems to be a little to short on the A length of the axle , as the pedal arm comes just a bit too close to the side of the bike.

The old axle measured 56 mm in the centre, however due to it being broken i have had to estimate the entire length, which i thought to be about 135 mm. The new axle i purchased is 55 mm in the centre, and i think is code 16C, and is 135 mm long.

Just wondering if anyone could tell me if they know what size i would need, and if i am even on the right track, any help appreciated.


Thanks,

Ben
