Awhile back...I posted a problem I was having with some BB bearings that were "pressed in". I was posting as Brian Sanderson then; the post was something like "pressed bearings" or some such.
Recently...I saw this on Ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/KLEIN-pressed-sealed-bearing-B-B-TOOL-for-bike-bicycle_W0QQitemZ7211246145QQcategoryZ27953QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
The pictures on item # 7211246145 on the bottom of the page also shows what type of crankshaft and bearings this tool is used on. That's the type I have on this frame.
It's a Klien...
My question is: What LBS in the Lower Mainland (Vancouver, BC) has this tool, and could help me swap the worn BB on this frame for a new one...I mean, do they even MAKE these anymore???
Also, how much trouble would it be to retrofit a standard cartridge or "3 piece" BB to this frame...assuming I can find anyone to remove the worn BB in the first place.
ANY help, no matter how far afield, would be appreciated.
