Daiwa Luna 253 knob bearing upgrade

[husonfirst]

Does anyone know if bearings can be added to the knobs on a Luna 253 and if so, what size?

No, but you can slap on one of those sweet daiwa 100mm custom handles with the Eva knobs, and add 2 bearings to it. No other modification needed. I'm pretty sure they're all the same size.

No as in you don't know or no the knobs won't accept a bearing upgrade?

Yes I upgraded mine a couple of years ago, use Standard Shimano knob bearings.

Thanks. Do you remember if it was 2 bearings per knob or just 1?

On my Luna 103L, I was only able to use 1 bearing per knob. The way the knob is made, it doesn't use a bushing on the bottom and it just seems to ride straight onto the handle. It didn't seem to make a difference with the bearing added so I ended up changing the whole handle so I can use 2 bearings/knob.
