Weird drag setup

[alantani]

Nobody is going to hazard a guess on why the person used a combination of teflon and carbon fiber? 

might have been just what he had available at the time. 

[alantani]

I like the idea of a delrin washer under the gear, then all greased carbon fiber. I'm going to try that.

yeah, been mulling this one over for a while, but i think i'll sit back and see how you guys do.  i'll stick to carbon fiber for now, but good luck with the delrin project!

Delrin on the way Boss!

Delrin on the way Boss!

Do you buy sheets and cut the washers?

[Shark Hunter]

Yes, you want some too? PM me your address.

Delrin on the way Boss!

thanks, but i'll pass for now.  too much stuff going on.  the youngest daughter is starting marching band camp and suddenly i'm swamped trying to help out.

Some people are so hard to convince

We will turn him, sooner or later Sal.

While I am sure the delrin washers are excellent -- I would like them to be pre cut, maybe Dawn has these?

I'm far from lazy, but when there are 15 reels on the bench to get done, it just makes more sense for me to throw in a greased CF as an under gear washer -- then take the time to measure, cut, and restart the servicing process.

While it is true that I could cut up a couple of hundred various sizes ahead of time -- I probably would consider that too tedious and unproductive.  Got to keep the line moving...

When I do my own reels, I will probably try the delrin.

Yes Fred, Dawn did state that she has those in different sizes, that's what I would recommend and they're ridiculously cheap.
I would like for you to do one reel and compare it to others, forget about the top of the stack, just place one delrin under the gear.

[floating doc]

Top of the stack?  Did I miss something?

[Alto Mare]

No, nothing at all, we're also trying to get delrin washers and spacers for the top of the stack, but that can wait for now.

[foakes]

Thanks for the info, Sal --

I'll order an assortment of the sizes I use the most from Dawn.

99% of the reels I work on get an under gear washer anyway.

Sort of like doing a flywheel resurface, clutch, and pressure plate on a car -- then not doing the pilot bearing when you have it apart.

Best,

Fred

Daron, ya got'em cut for 9s & 12s?
I'd like to try'em if ya do.

Send me your digits Bruh. I'll send you some. I'm going to punch a bunch this weekend.
