Raleigh Twenty with wobbly hinge
Hello all,
I just acquired a Raleigh 20, not sure what year. It seems in fair shape except the hinge seems somewhat loose even when I tighten it as tight as possible. When I rock the bike side to side I can just barely see it move but can definitely feel it. I've never had a folding bike before - that's not normal, certainly? Just wondering if anyone else has run into this or if there's something dumb I'm not thinking of.
I can't guess how much the bike has been ridden, it has lots of not original parts.
I think it has the correct pieces - an L shaped bolt and a washer to fold it and a tiny washer and nut (an axle nut?) where it pivots.
Thanks for any input.
