Interesting! Can you even buy a new yo-yo today with any bearing size other than A, C, or D?

(I don’t mean dead stock from 2010, I mean a new release)

Idk I haven’t really looked i wouldn’t want a yoyo that big. I feel like it would be awkward to use.

Other than the ILYY I added, probably not, but if you need a replacement for an existing yoyo, here’s your reference.

Also, C size bearing is a model R188 bearing, A is model R105, B is R168, D is R685, E is R155, just for a few. Good to know if you want to try n buy cheap bearings.
