Here is a job I did for a local kid. Took an oldish (1980s) Duncan Wheel (fixed steel axle). and modernized it to take an unresponsive large bearing and recessed silicone response. tapped a 5-16 threaded insert in the caps for a 6-32 axle, then turned down to fit in the original axle hole. The inner gap is faced flat. Cut and drilled a stepped bearing seat spacer. The spacer parted and placed near where it will live later. the set of spacers, they look different but I think one just wasn't deburred from drilling yet. The bearing sitting in the spacers compared to a stock duncan bearing and stock spacer setup(left) . The spacer housing and response groove cut into the face of the yo-yo. the spacer installed. +bearing both spacers + axle, ready for silicone response. using a plastic spoon to put a concave recess in the silicone for best response. should have gotten a final result playing photo. May take one later and post. got it: |
