So. Much. Better.
« on: February 09, 2010, 03:33:35 PM »





Big thanks to LANDON BALK! for doing this mod for me. He took the Peak's gap down .2mm (now the halves are 3.9 mm apart) and the Superstar down 1.2mm (3.9mm)

The Peak is spot on, and the difference in the SuperStar is ridiculous. Landon had to cut that one so much he had to shorten the axle and the bearing posts just so it could screw together. Best of all, they are exactly as smooth as they were when I sent them to him!

Awesome! How much does it cost? (I've been wondering about a mod like this). If it could be done on my new breed I'd have a new favorite throw.

You have no idea how much I want to do this on, well, every large bearing yoyo I own.

Preference. For instance, I can't stand monster gaps such as the one on the DNA. I like my my gaps small, or at least not huge.

Yeah, my magic spot is 4-4.3mm give or take .1mm. One reason I stay away from YYF for the most part.

I am going to get this done to my Supa' sta' as soon as i get it. I think YYF should do a run of SS's with 4.0mm gaps.

I don't know what you're asking. There was no anodization related to this mod, Yoking just cut the seats.

1/2 Specs are too small. They make the gap on the SS only about 3mm, on the Peak even smaller. Picky, but my yoyos play awesome now, so meh.

Plus, the 1/2 SPEC I have is pretty crappy as far as its actual bearing properties are concerned.

Wow, that was a really good idea.

I think I might have to get that done to my 888x. I'm not to crazy about the huge gap on it.

If you have a gap past 4.3 it starts to wear out the response too quickly and gets too unresponsive.
So the widest gapped yoyo I would have it 4.3.
