ok now re read " I have a sleeve as a spacer between the bearing inner races...
it slipped over the straight square taper axle.."
maybe that , absent a picture , will help.

You're speaking in unconnected sentence fragments, so it is impossible to tell what you're talking about and how it relates.

Does anyone besides you post about plain bearings in a boorish attempt at a "gotcha" in a thread about Merlin pressed in BBs?
You've proven to be a rather nasty person, always posting put-downs. I'm not interested in supporting your illness - play time is over.

"I was only kidding around." "It was only an innocent question." "I was only pointing out the facts."
You post rude, petty, useless things in this forum all the time. You add zero value. Your plain bearing question did nothing to clarify what was being discussed, it was just another booger you've flicked into an otherwise useful thread. There's alway a couple of guys like you on forums that make everything just a hair worse without ever being enough of an obvious troll to get the boot you deserve. It is so tiresome.

Your "rude, petty, useless things ... zero value" judgments are just part of your own filter.

You never answer questions, yet you constantly post replies in the Mechanics forum.

Just so you'll know, "never" is longer than 24 hours.

I don't have a Merlin it's not my problem,
I do understand how a press fit square taper axle assembly can go together in a simple form..
hamster wheel on guys..

Honestly Bob, I thought you were trying to add something relevant and was trying to get you to articulate whatever it was so someone could understand it. I'm sure it wasn't just nonsense you were posting, but you didn't post anything that makes sense.

Merlin Titanium Grease Guard Press Fit Bottom Bracket & Seized Stem
Toga Bike Shop in NYC is the place to go to fix Merlin Titanium bikes made in Massachusetts. They distributed these original Merlin Titanium bikes from 1986 on, so they know everything about them. I bought a 1990 Merlin Titanium from Ebay with a horribly loose, unrideable Grease Guard Press Fit Bottom Bracket & a Seized Hideous Stem. No other bike shop in NYC was able to fix this problem, & I was fearful that I had a dead bicycle frame on my hands. Toga was able to rebuild the bottom bracket with new sealed Phil Wood bearings, & can remove any stem seized with Galvanic Fusion between the titanium & aluminum. All for a very reasonable price.

shipbikes the best & cheapest way to ship a bicycle
If not at or around NYC, strip your bike down & get a used shipping box or frame box from a bicycle shop, tip them $10 or $20
You pay by the size & weight, so a frame box is cheapest to ship.
Remove the wheels, pedals, crank/crank arm, chain, seatpost/saddle.
Vintage Merlin Titanium bikes are great looking, light weight, & should always be saved to ride whenever possible.
