Hi. I’m restoring an old Dawes Kingpin folding bike and have removed the bottom bracket only to find the bearing surfaces on the spindle are badly pitted. It is stamped with No5 IDC or TDC? and Made in England.
I have seen No5 spindles for sale but before I buy, are all No5s the same or are there variations?
Any help appreciated. Thank you.
