Conquest50 and 50S

Post by LgMouthGambler » Wed Jun 21, 2017 7:11 am

Seems like the only difference is the spool and the gear ratio, is this correct? Oh, and the handle, but Im not worried about that,

Gear ratio should be the same at 6.2:1
Differences are the handle, spool and brake block/assembly.

You know what, youre right about the gear ratio. For some reason i was thinking that my 50 was a 5.8 ratio. I was thinking to get the S and swap out the spool. :lol: Thanks for knocking that sense into me. :doh:

I'm not sure but, I think the S is not directly compatible with the other Conquest 50 spools. A slight modification would be needed I think

yes, would require dedicated brake 'drums' (different drum diameter).

Yes you would need the spool and the brake raceway to complete the change. The ring diameters are not the same.
