I’m new to the whole modification scene, but I have a very old Red YYJ Patriot and the bearing is pretty worn out. I’d like to keep this particular YoYo responsive and keep its sleep duration or increase it if possible. Does anyone know what bearing I need for this? How can I find out?

Thanks in advance!

You need a size C bearing. I would get either of these:

> **[General Yo](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/collections/general-yo)**
>
> Made in the USA, General-Yo creates high end metal yo-yos machined to the highest standards for the smoothest spins possible.

> **[One Drop 10 Ball Bearing](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/products/one-drop-10-ball-yoyo-bearing)**
>
> The 10 Ball Bearing from One Drop features 10 balls inside compared to the standard 8 balls! This is the bearing that comes standard in most One Drop products.This bearing has quickly become famous for its very smooth and noticeably quieter spins....
