Reel mechanics
On Sun, 22 Jan 2006 18:03:25 GMT, "Doug"
sent into the ether: Hi everyone! Say, does anyone know of someone reputable that does maintenance on higher end reels? I have a couple Shimano Sustains that need bearing upgrades and basically gone thru to get ready for the season. I would like the reassurance that they are actually a business too and not an individual working out of there living room, a website maybe would help. I guess what I'm saying is that if I send my reels somewhere, I want to KNOW that I"ll get them back. No one in my area does any reel repair except one guy, I don't think he does much but squirt oil around the external parts that's it. I took a reel to him for the same problem 3 different times and I know he never cracked the case. I used white lithium grease normally myself, and before I took the reel to him the 3rd time, I put a drop of blue grease in the crank case and it was still there upon return and he assured me he redid the whole thing for a 3rd time. No way....... Anyway, if anyone has an rec's, I would be interested! Thanx, Doug These might help. Jerry Barton posted them a while back. I know others out here are also aware of other service places. http://heartlandtackleservice.com/shimano.stm http://home.att.net/~kelley_brown/reelservice.html http://members.cox.net/del-mart/hotrod.html I've learned that I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy it!
