Product Description
SHIMANO 10021 IDLE GEAR B S (RD18905)
Restore Your Reel’s Precision
The Shimano 10021 Idle Gear B S is a genuine OEM replacement component designed to restore the smooth oscillation and drive performance of your Shimano spinning reel. Located within the reel’s body assembly, this small idle gear (Position B) is critical for transferring power from the drive gear to the worm shaft, ensuring perfect line lay and consistent operation.
If you are experiencing grinding noises, inconsistent spool movement, or gear slippage, a worn or damaged idle gear is often the culprit. Replace it with this authentic Shimano part to ensure exact fitment and factory-standard durability.
