Klein bottom bracket help

[Dr S]

can anyone help? I have a problem with a too narrow bottom bracket on the attitude- I'm wanting to put Cooks RSRs on it and the BB is about 6-8mm shy on the drive side and about 5mm on the other.My question is where can I get a BB in the correct width? And how does the bottom bracket come out? Is it a specific Klein bb or am I being a dumb Mofo?

For Attitude and for Cooks RSR, bottom bracket setting is 117*22 (Klein technical manual 1996).
I sold 40 BB Klein Ti and Steel (I have 117 steel)

I will measure the axle I have in the morning- I might be looking for a 117mm; I'll get back to you.
Thanks for your help guys

You can buy titanium spindles from Action-Tec USA (I bought one for my Adroit from them) and at least First Flight has/had some steel spindles available.
For Cook RSRs, you'll be needing a 117mm spindle.

I have 117mm on my Attitude and Cook RSR´s.
It´s fits well but it´s quite close also. so 119mm will do the job also.

 

[Dr S]

you could be right Samu- I have measured the axle this morning and it is 113mm, I think 117 will be tight.
Cheers for the help guys
