Sweet Klein Quantum bike build.
Great pics of a Klein Quantum Race with a sick paint job.
A comment asks about fitting a new bottom bracket in if it's Klein 35mm press fit, but another comment says they dropped that for english threading later in the 90s, including this bike.
Shows Klien's unique bottom bracket, talks about Klein bike history/design.
Klein bikes from the 80's/90's have 2 press fit bearings and a square taper spindle.
Consider just removing the bearing seals and re-greasing instead of removing the bottom bracket.
You can try knocking out the spindle with a hammer (support the frame with wooden blocks).
*Mentions a Reset Racing tool, but I can't find it now.
The bottom bracket on this frame is a bit unique. I have only seen press fit bearings for cranks with an attached spindle. But this one has a square taper spindle in it.
It's a 117mm spindle, and I'm looking at replacing it with a shorter one to bring the chainline in to fix issues with the Deore DX to Dura Ace conversion. I think I will have to hammer it out from one side or the other.
Klein bikes use 35mm press fit bearings. Mine has a 117mm square taper in it.
