Frequently asked questions about tuning the Shimano 18 Bantam MGL

Which spool bearings fit the Shimano 18 Bantam MGL?

The Shimano 18 Bantam MGL uses spool bearings in 5x11x4 and 3x10x4 (inner × outer × width in mm). You'll find matching tuning spool bearings in exactly this size on this page under the tuning parts.

Which bearing class do we recommend for the 18 Bantam MGL?
