Tiagra 30 2 Speed

[woodch0p]

Hey everyone,

Recently serviced a mates Tiagra 30 and when doing so used Alan Tani's servicing post for a Tiagra 16 (found here) as a guide. Upon opening the reel I noticed some differences between the two and thought I would share for anyone interested in servicing their Tiagra 30. I have not posted the full strip down as Alan Tani's Tiagra 16 post covers a majority of it, just the differences I noticed when servicing this reel, and how I serviced it.

The reel

Difference #1 - The Tiagra 30 has 5 torx screws holding the left side plate on. In this photo notice how one is longer then the others? FYI this one goes in the hole inbetween the harness lug.

Once the side plate is removed the spool comes out exactly like in Alan's post.

Difference #2 - Cooling shield only secured by 4 screws

Difference #3 - When cooling shield is removed you can see the major difference here, there is only one drag washer which is attached to the pressure plate with the drag plate screwed directly to the spool. In the picture you can notice there is a build up on the drag plate and washer, the owner of this reel mentioned he noticed that the drag seemed to loosen when line was stripped, this could be due to the build up affecting start up inertia. I cleaned the build up and greased up the drag washer with Cals. Problem fixed.

The pressure plate is held onto the cooling plate due to a small black washer on the stem of the pressure plate, easily seperated as shown.

Flipping the spool over I removed the clicker plate and noticed some salt water intrusion on this part as seen

Cleaned it up and applied a layer of Cals and screwed it back on

Without removing any of the right hand components I cleaned up the clicker and gears on the right hand plate and re-greased them as shown in the pics (before & after)

Put the spool shaft back in and gave the gears a new coat of grease.

Last image is of the inside of the left hand plate showing the dog pawls for the anti reverse. There was a small amount of grease on these, I applied a thin coat to the lot to help protect them while putting the reel back together.

There you have it, not a difficult process at all, following Alan's steps with a few minor changes and she's running like new.
