CARBONTEX equivalent carbon fiber drag washers SHIMANO ULTEGRA 5500 &

In this listing we offer a single spool set (3 pieces) of pre-greased 100% carbon fiber drag washers suited for the following SHIMANO reel models:

• ULTEGRA 5500 XTB / XTC / XTD / XSB / XSC / XSD
• ULTEGRA 5500 CI4 XSA / XTA (does not work w/ CI4+; see other listing for CI4+ washers)

Washers were CNC cut from CARBONTEX equivalent sheets we make from premium quality 100% carbon fiber cloth combined w/ high temperature epoxy resin system. In case standard surface roughness gives too much of a "quick drag", you can smooth it out using low grit sandpaper. The lower the grit the more breaking smoothness you get. We recommend to use drag washers w/ suitable drag grease.

In other listings we offer 100x100mm (3.93x3.93in) sheets dedicated to self-cutting of drag washers. Available thickness range is: 0.6mm (0.0236in), 0.80mm (0.0315in), 1.1mm (0.0433in), 1.5mm (0.060in).

Our CARBONTEX equivalent sheets as well as CNC cut ready-to-use drag washers are thoroughly tested and work very well.

Please be aware that delivery of packages sent outside of the European Union (EU) typically takes 3+ weeks. This seem to be driven by customs clearance and is especially true for Great Britain after separation from EU.
