Shimano Antares 2012 gear swap ?

Post by Real Pudd legend » Sun Oct 25, 2015 5:42 am

Just wanted to see if you have the 5:6.1 gear ratio version , would the HG hear 7:4.1 drop right in ? Or would the frame not support the gear size ? Thankyou.


Referring to the Antares that is currently on the tacklewarehouse site .
