21 Conquest Gear Compatibility

Post by Hobie-Wan Kenobi » Fri Oct 22, 2021 1:52 pm

Anyone know if the 21 Conquest 7.4 gears will fit into a Conquest BFS?

16 Aldebaran BFS and Conquest BFS gears are compatible. If some either knows or has the means to test fit, that would be appreciated.

Thank you.

I don’t have an Aldebaran anymore or a gear set from one to try in my conquest but I measured the OD of both the main and pinion gear on the new 7.4 ratio and get 1.529” for the main and .230” for the pinion. That gives around .8795” center to center plus or minus whatever Shimano’s working tolerances are.

Update:

I found an old 8:1 set from one of my past aldebaran bfs reel and tried them in the new conquest. They will not fit...

The aldebaran has a .050 smaller main gear (about 1.480") with the same diameter pinion as the conquest (.230") making the center to center around .025" larger on the 21 conquest vs the older models.

No Bueno....
