Order direct from them is faster. I don’t carry stock.
just saw the prices…scary…can buy new reel! can consider them later i guess!

Quality bearings are not cheap, not forgetting those high end reels which are fitted with quality bearings which carry a high price which many anglers do not have any idea why it is so expensive, but it is worth investing for a good reel if one can afford.
I just bought 2 SIC bearings to be fitted on my CQ100 spool bearing. Different from bocabearing which have seal, my SIC bearing can see the ball bearing inside.
So far the performance very good, my casting distance improved, but more often cause spool overrun and birdnest.. and the SIC bearing producing more noise as it run, don’t know why..

May I know what is SIC BEARINGS ??
to MFB(yeob garcia the great) please answer uncle thomas question…!!
I also wan to know what is Sic bearing…
I heard that you are specialist and tester of Abu Garcia product…!!
just want to learn from u…(the great)

if i’m not mistaken SiC bearing is the ceramic bearing which the balls inside the bearing made of silicon carbide…correct me if i’m wrong…
check this link too ->http://www.hexoloy.com/product-applications/bearings

Yes , SIC is Silicon Carbide, or the Ceramic balls inside the Stainless Steel casing, some is not sealed and some is prelubed with sealer, but according to MFB, his bearings make noise during casting, I wonder he applies any light lubrication in the bearings. Sometimes,
high speed long distant casting, do produce some whining noise which is quite normal. The over run or backlash can be controlled via the centrifugal or magnetic control and also the educated thumb. Adjustment and constant practice is the only remedial way out to a perfect cast.
So sorry uncle lee.. late reply..
Don’t know somehow my CQ100 start to creating more sound when using this SIC bearing, but the smoothness is there, I presume the SIC bearing is also a high speed bearing, that’s why a whining sound problem arise. I did apply some daiwa lube oil on it..
BTW my sic bearing is open type without seal.
I’ll post the picture of the bearing later..

Bro paichen..I think u got the wrong person..[:D] I’m just love abu garcia product, that’s why i putting word “garcia” in my KPN forum nickname.

As u can see, the ball bearing in the cage is black (SIC)
The other side of the bearing, there is a small metal piece looks like a cover but it is actually a cage that holding the SIC ball.

I would suggest you contact the manufacturer of
those SIC BEARINGS and tell them your problem,
may be they will advice you what to do.
You can also switch back to the original bearings,
have them cleaned up completely with kerosene and
apply light reel oil before fixing. Try experiment
which bearings will give you better performance.
if not mistaken, i’ve read before sometime ago in tackletour forum about ceramic bearing noise. this is due to tight tolerances or higher ABEC class. wait till i search back in TT forum…

mfb,
found it! copied a paragraph from TT Forum…
“Here’s another tip, you may find useful. Ceramic spool bearings will typically run quieter and with less vibration, than conventional bearings in the same ABEC class. However, you may notice more vibration or noise from the reel, as you cast or crank it. Wait a minute, how can that be, especially if they run better? Here’s an explanation: The noise/vibration could actually be due to several factors, which are really related to the higher spool speed, and much more braking action that occurs during a cast. Some spools, reels and brakes may not operate as smoothly at the higher speeds (since they may not be finely tuned, balanced or aligned, as they could otherwise have been). Lastly, the vibration/noise may be due to debris, excess or dried oil, or water that has fouled the bearing, causing noise to be amplified while vibration is transmitted to the frame (especially on large and more-open magnesium framed reels). The advantages of ceramic hybrid spool bearings may not be very discernable to an occasional angler, but ask one who spends a lot of time on the water, and they’ll probably tell you that they cast just as far as regular bearings – but with less effort (and maybe even a little further too)! It should also be pointed out, that the braking system on some low-quality bait casting reels may not be able to handle the speeds developed by ceramic spool bearings, and overruns could occur!”

Thanks for the info.. I thinking of to replace the bearing to the old one to see the diff.

Confirm the sound created from one of the sic bearing. I’ve change to the original bearing n da sound disappeared instantly.
Upon checking on the SIC bearing, one rotates with the hissing sound but the overall performance of that bearing still smooth..

bro yob where do get this sic bearing? price?
