Aldebaran 50/BFS

Post by Winstondry » Thu Jan 31, 2019 11:04 am

Dan,

I was looking at the parts schematic on the Shimano website for the ADL50 for the bearing on the wormdrive (I was looking for my ALD BFS XG and assumed they'd be the same) but was surprised to see the description for part No. BNT4117 say "HANDLE KNOB BUSHING", is that correct? Is it only a bushing instead of a bearing, if so, do you know if the ALD BFS XG also uses a bushing instead of a bearing?

Thanks in advance.

We use a bushing on the worm shaft. Maybe the BFS uses a bearing but I am not sure. This is a JDM model so I do not have schematics for that model here to look at.
