Hedgehog 90mm carbon swept hande

Post by BRONZEBACK32 » Wed May 13, 2015 3:15 pm

Looking at picking one of these up for my Metanium 13, they are sweet looking.

I noticed on the hedgehog site is says it does not include handle lock nut, retainer and screw.

They are around $20.00 for the set from hedgehog, I was wondering if the parts from the shimano core 51mg7 would
work?

Pics of this awesome handle would also be cool.

Thanks for any info


P.S. does anyone have extra parts by chance, I will pay :big grin:

I bought one a while back (80mm) for a Zonda 68. They are a decent inexpensive alternative but I found mine to be surprisingly thick and heavy, several grams heavier than the stock handle. I was able to use the stock parts on my daiwa to mount it but that doesn't help you much with a Core. I ended up selling it and putting the stock handle back on.

The hedgehog one works super well for mine.

I ordered a set of retainer and nuts from shimano for the core to go on.

I find the tolerances for the hedgehog much better than the stock handle. Any back play, in/out play eliminated with the new handle.

Best upgrade I can feel imho.

Got one ordered :)

It says on the site is comes with

| Accessories
・ 1 Retainer (silver)
・ 1 Screw for retainer
・ 2 Adjustment shims for knob
・ 4 Plastic collars

But says it does not come with the handle lock nut.

So I ordered the handle and a black lock nut.

Hope I'm correct here LOL
