Is a 5.x - 1 gear available for a Chronarch 51e?

I was looking for this same question a while ago and I believe (not 100%)the old calais 5:1 gears work in the curado/chronarch 50 but i'm not sure on the availability of the part anymore. francho or DVT may have more insight on obtaining the parts.

I´m 100% shure that there is a possible gear swap ---> Curado 51e gears.

In general reels with the same frame and case dimensions will allow gear swaps, but I can't recall any 50 size reels made in a cranking ratio.

Is there a 5:1 gear set that fits the 100 size shimanos (100b, 50mg)?

Would a Shimano Aldebaran gear set work? It seems to be close to the 50 series size and has a 5.8:1 ratio? Just throwing it out there for the reel gurus.

I deleted what I said as I thought he posted a 200E not the 50E...

There seems to be no cross platform gear swap that I can find

You can swap with the Aldebaran mg (5.8:1) gears. I'm not sure where you can get the parts from because NA Shimano doesn't carry them. You might have to order it from a Japanese website. It'll give you 23" IPT with the 5:8:1 gears vs. a E5 that is 21" IPT. The 50E stock gears is 25" IPT. So overall, you'll only be gaining 2" less IPT, not much of a difference and it's going to cost you quite a bit for parts and shipping.

Absolutely spot on!
