Update on the Raleigh thread.
It's very suddenly like winter here, we had snow, 60 mph winds, more snow coming and then single digit temps by Monday night, making riding this bike even more of a fantasy proposition than before.
So the axle came yesterday, my old cones spin on fine, it's the one.
The threading is asymmetrical, meaning there is more of it on one side, I would assume the drive side has more thread?
Old busted axle had apparently symmetrical threading.
Trove of Sugino tools off eBay, and the BB race tool worked, got the bearing race loose, then adjust to a gnats's behind.
I since also bought a second axle from Loose Screws, just for the NOS cones which look like ringers for these.
Old parts on the new axle with extra long threads on the drive side. When I do reassemble the rear axle, it will be with new cones, new BC25 balls, and Park grease, because of OC or whatever, I just want to do it right, and we have several 90's or older vintage bikes that can use repacks.
