135.5 bottom bracket

I am searching for a new BB for the new Klein. The size is listed in the tech manual as 73x135.5. The closest i can find is in the SignatureDH from Raceface and it comes in 118, 128,and 143. Suggestions?

I suggest a call to Bikeman! ;D

Or directly to Klein to see what they recommend.

Gotta get that thing in and running Justbill! :)

I would talk to Klein or a shop that knows their bikes well. Looking at the Klein manual they list the size as 73x135.5 for the Palamino Team and 73x118 for the rest of the Palamino line.

I'm guessing that the difference is that the Palamino Team has an 03 XTR crankset that takes an integrated bottom bracket and the other models are using a "normal" bottom bracket. Hopefiully someone at Klein or a good LBS that sells Kleins would know.
