Bearing size ?

[Drisse]

Hi!

I measured the bearings in the handleknob on a Daiwa Saltiga that needs to be replaced. I got the measures inner x outer x width

4,80 x 7,84 x 2,33 mm

Wondering if that is supposed to be 5x8x2,5mm ? Normally when I measure for example 5mm its like 4,96mm.

Any thoughts on the measurement ?

Is it definitely the original handle? No chance it's a mysterious imperial size bearing?

using digital calipers?

digital calipers do vary a bit but not that much, boon is on the money I would say, 5.96 is generaly 6mm, but 5.80, is giving to much variation,good luck cheers Don.

5x8x2.5 would be what I would be reaching for if it was a Saltiga. The last half dozen I have done were all standard sizes, and that size is pretty much the standard IME.

Yes Alan.

Yes, original handle.

Thanks! I'll go with the 5x8x2,5mm. Just thought the masurement did vary a bit more than I'm used to.

I will ask the silly question... you didn't have 0.1mm of schmutz on the jaws of your calipers?
