Howdy!

On my Conquest 842S the inside of the top guide came loose. I glued it a couple weeks back but it popped out again so it seems it's time to replace it.

 

On the website all it says is it's a Fuji Torzite guide. However there are quite a few of them out there in a few different sizes. Can someone help me figure out the size or the model of the one I need to get?

 

Thanks!

Call G.Loomis and they will probably send you one for free.

Oh sweet! I'll give it a shot!

The tip size has two measurements.

1. The size of the ceramic ring, almost always in millimeter.
This measurement is the outside diameter of the ceramic insert.

 

2. The inside diameter of the tube (or barrel) of the guide.

This measurement is most always in 64th of an inch. Now this will look a little weird because they will be in half sizes...i.e.  4.5/64th of an inch. (aka 9/128ths).

 

Why they mixed the measurements of metric and standard is probably because this is how it was always done?

This is exactly what they did. I sincerely love Shimano's customer service.

 

Thanks for the tip (no pun intended lol)!
