Jakob Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Hello Tackle Underground Members! What are the actual dimensions of the original graphite spool bearing on the Citica Bantam CI-200? I want to replace it with a boca bearing! Thanks for your time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobP Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 Bearings are sized like 3x10x4 where the 3 is the hole size, the 10 is the outer diameter, and the 4 is the thickness. If you have the old bearing, it's easy enough to use a millimeter ruler to get the size, since the bearing are built in whole mm dimensions.

clamboni Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 You can upgrade that reel to curado specs by replacing two bushings with bearings. The bearing under the cast control knob, as well as the bushing in the palm side plate are both 3x10x4 The bearing that's behind the little shear pin on the shaft is 5x11x4 There's also a bushing on the end of the drive shaft if you're interested in tearing the reel down far enough to get to it. Dimensions are 5x9x3 Micrometer is really the best way to measure dimensions. There's a few reel bearings that have a 2.5mm width. All the ones I've seen are drive shaft bearings. Hard to be sure with a ruler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
