Which spools fit the Ultegra C2000S?
We have no official spool listing recorded for the C2000S, so we name no spool for it.
| Part | Listed value | Source note |
|---|---|---|
| Yumeya handle knob type | A | Shimano Japan spec table (夢屋ハンドルノブタイプ). |
| Yumeya handle type | H-10 | Shimano Japan spec table (夢屋ハンドルタイプ). |
| Yumeya screw cap type | HC-3 | Shimano Japan spec table (夢屋ハンドルスクリューキャップタイプ). |
| Yumeya reel stand type | C, E | Shimano Japan spec table (夢屋リールスタンドタイプ). |
We only list parts the manufacturer (or its own custom-parts brand) names. A part with similar dimensions is not treated as compatible, and a matching type is not a statement that stock spools swap between models.
Is there a US version of the Ultegra C2000S?
