This is Nakamura from Kubokan!
Despite being a very niche product, our valve springs for the Karikio have been extremely well-received—and for some reason, we’ve gone ahead and released a second installment.
I’ve even gone ahead and named it the “Karikio Reissue Series.” I’ve just decided to turn it into a series on my own.
So, what’s new this time...
Valve guides!!! (Why?)
I doubt there’s a single shop anywhere in the world that sells this part commercially...
I couldn’t find any. So I made them.
If you ask me where the demand for these comes from, I’d have to admit I’m a bit stumped myself. But over years of use, the “claws” that grip the valve can wear down, and I’ve even had requests to repair guides that were “deformed during cleaning.”
I’ll be satisfied if Karikio users all over the world can play with peace of mind.

*This part was designed based on the 5800-series Calicio. Generally speaking, models from the 7,000 series onward and those from the Tulsa era or later have different specifications, so the valve guide will need to be modified. I haven’t confirmed compatibility with the early models (made by Mr. Dominique).
