Hi everyone
I cannot get the drag on the TICA Caiman CA201 to be smooth. I used Cals grease first but it was still jerky. Cleaned it up and regreased. No change. Tried oil. Same thing.
What material were these drag washers made out of? Am I not putting enough grease on? Has me stumped and I'm getting tired of taking it apart :D

Do vegans feel the same when mowing the lawn?

G'day Larry,
The Caymans I've serviced didn't have CF drag, but I believe HT-100s fit.
That'd likely solve the problem...
Good luck, Justin

Thanks for the replies. Guess I'll be buying myself a micrometer tomorrow and see what comes up.
If someone knows from the list Alan posted I'd appreciate it.
First Tica I've worked on. Great help. Much appreciated.

Got the CF drag washers in the mail and the drag is as smooth as silk now. Thanks Dawn and everyone for your help.
