Raleigh Super Course bottom bracket threading?
Is it correct that the Raleigh Super Course uses standard English threading for the BB? A page on Sheldon's (RIP) site seems to indicate so:
but I just wanted to confirm that this applies to the BB threads, and that a typical square taper 68 by 1xx mm bottom bracket will fit.
Throughout the Bike Boom era, the Super Course was the least expensive Raleigh model to feature aluminum rims. It was also the least expensive model to use standard British tread [sic] dimensions, rather than the Raleigh proprietary threading used on bikes built at the Nottingham factory.

Yes Carlton built equals standard english threading, not the raleigh specific one. https://www.retroraleighs.com has all the info you could wan on old raleighs. I love Supercourses.
