This reel has been tuned in a way that a typical person wouldn't or couldn't do. - Brand: ZPI - Model: ALCANCE XS L - Type: Baitcasting Reel - Color: Black - Handle Type: Left Handle - Gear Ratio: 8.1:1 Thank you for viewing. The mechanism is in good working order. Despite being an extra-high gear ratio, there is some gear noise due to the coarse pitch of the gears. There are no major scratches, and it's in relatively good condition, with only slight discoloration on the clutch. Tuning details: Photo 7 The part supporting the pinion gear has a gap, possibly due to a dimensional defect or specification, and doesn't provide any support. Even with the mechanical brake loosened and the magnetic brake set to zero, the spool rotation isn't smooth, which seems to be caused by the pinion gear wobbling and contacting the inner surface of the spool shaft and pinion gear. Photo 8 The gap in the assembled state. The actual measurement is Φ4.83 on the pinion gear side, and the bearing inner diameter is Φ5. It's loose. Photo 9 A POM-made flanged sleeve has been created and installed inside the bearing. As a machinist, I machined it on a lathe. The wall thickness of the created sleeve is about 0.075mm, so it's probably impossible for a typical person to make it DIY. It has been adjusted to fit the actual product to allow the pinion gear to slide smoothly. The flange is on the inside to prevent it from coming off. ※ Added note → I noticed this while disassembling and maintaining a Daiwa reel the other day, but the structure supporting the pinion gear was the same, lol. Photo 10 Photo of the sleeve installed. The clutch disengages smoothly, and the secure hold reduces interference between the pinion gear inner diameter and the spool shaft, resulting in a pleasant casting experience. Other modifications: - There was axial play in the handle main shaft, so shims were added to reduce the play. I've handled other Alcance reels, and they had similar play. - A thorough overhaul has been performed. The low-profile spool and brake design contribute to a low-trajectory, very smooth cast. Accessories include the box and instruction manual.
