I need new bearings for a Citica and a couple old Corsair reels. I know the part numbers and I have been searching online to find them. I called Shimano customer service and to get the stock Shimano BNT0194 bearing, it is 10.60 for each one. I found a place where I can get some ABEC 7 rated stainless bearings for 7.95 or I could get Ceramics for 14.95. The place that offers the ABEC 7 bearings also sells them in 10 pack sets for 25.00 and 55.00 respectfully. I am thinking of going with the Ceramics as I have heard a few good things about them. Really I need 6 of them and have a couple other reels the bearings fit in so I was thinking of just throwing a couple in them too or keep a few spares for if the need arrises again.
My question is this, has anyone had any experience with the upgraded bearings or are am I the only one that has blown out a set of bearings and is looking for replacements? I would like to hear from anyone that has upgraded or replaced them.
I am also considering converting a Curado 200B38 to a 200B5 and I know another guy here did the same thing. It would cost about 30 bucks to do the conversion so I will probably go ahead and do that here some time. With all the work I have been doing on my reels lately, I have become pretty darn good at tearing them down though. It is kinda fun once you get into them to clean em up.
I really don't care about that.
Sad to say the best chance of a championship at the moment in this state is the Twolves.
Used to be such the fan, but the NBA lost me with the pick and roll.
But I'll watch come playoff time.
If KAT can't play worth a darn , the playoff run won't last long.
I thought I couldn’t dislike Glenn Taylor any more than I already did until today:
Glen Taylor with @ChadHartmanShow when asked if the reason for this happening is because the franchise might be worth double what he was selling it for:
"Partly so, yes. I have a responsibility to those who have been on this ride for the last 40 years."
Sellers remorse for sure but too bad for him the deal was inked 3 years ago. Hopefully the league has a way to arbitrate so it doesn’t go to court, but we will see.
