Hi All, I've got a circa 2001, Raleigh r200, which I'm trying to get back on the road. A couple of years ago I came across a web page with the technical data of the bike, (make and model of the parts fitted) but I can't find it anymore.

Does anyone know a web page that lists the technical data of the Raleigh r200 please?

Thanks.

Ask Raleigh. I checked their website and the owner's manuals appear to go back to 2009, the catalogs to 2005. They should be able to point you in the right direction to find the technical specs of your bike.

Are you looking just for edification or for something specific to get it back on the road? If you just want it up and running, unless you're trying to go period correct for some reason, the parts list shouldn't be too terribly necessary.

I think you may be asking about Bikepedia but I don't see an R200 for that year BikePedia

AdrianJF

Thanks for the replies. I just want to replace "like with like" rather than either get something sub-standard or that doesn't fit, or overpay for something high quality that isn't necessary.

WhyFi

If all of the parts are there, but just not functioning, you should be able to find the part numbers on them. If some parts are missing, you can make an educated (and probably very safe) guess based upon the series/generation of the remaining parts. If it's a bare frame, pick and choose a groupset to your liking.

You can just let us know what isn't working and we can make recommendations on replacements?

There is a lot of interchangeability amongst bike parts of the last 20 years, and you don't need to be "period correct" to have a functional bike.

AdrianJF

Thanks for the replies, appreciated. Yes, I could go through the bike and note the parts, (I've just ordered a new rear cassette, doing just that and a matching bike chain, (having asked "Wiggle" what chain is the right one) but some parts might not be labelled, or it's worn through, or covered in grease. I just remember seeing a site with every major part being conveniently listed.

Dan333SP

For cassette and chain, all you really need to know is the number of gears and the type of freehub splines (shimano/sram or campagnolo, typcially).

If you have a '00 bike, it's most likely 8 or 9 speeds, and I'd bet it's a Shimano drivetrain. In that event you can use any 6/7/8-speed chain and most likely any cheap Shimano 8 or 9 speed cassette, depending on your current group. You could probably get both parts for under $20.

Hi, So here we have exactly why I need the website.

I have to replace the toe clip but as it's "integrated", (part of the old design) to the actual pedal, I can't find a suitable replacement.

I don't want to have to replace the WHOLE pedal, just got the plastic cage that holds the shoe. Any ideas please?

Dan333SP

Why not just take the clip off the other pedal and replace both? Surely some of these will work-

Or just replace the pedals too. That's really not an expensive thing to do. Much easier than trying to hunt down an old plastic part that most likely isn't made any more and is not available anywhere.

WhyFi

Buy new pedals.

AdrianJF

New top plastic part of toe clip - £5. New pedal - £40. Nuff said, really.

WhyFi

I thought that you said that it was integrated and that you couldn't find a suitable replacement? If you can find exactly what you're looking for, more power to you, but stock pedals are really nothing special (most current road bikes don't even come with pedals or, if they do, they're throw-away flat pedals) and there's no real reason to stick with what's on the bike. There are thousands of pedal options out there, many for less than £40. It really depends on what you're looking for.

Try archive.org and browse back through the old Raleigh pages from that era. Sometimes I get lucky...
