Modding yo-yos

<< < (9/9)

Mark132:
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:
