So my bearing on my shutter is shot, and I was wondering what I should get to replace it. I would want it to be KONKAVE. Thanks! ---

> [@Yoyo](#): > > You get what you pay for, nothing compares to a KK or NSK. I’m a believer. I have cheap concaves that play great. But they’re not quite as good as a real Dif KK. And then I got a pair of NSKs because… extravagence and curiosity… And there’s REALLY nothing like an NSK. As quiet as a lubed bearing without lube. Although despite being told not to, I put a tiny dot of lube in anyhow. I am NOT the kind of guy to rave about something just because it was expensive, but NSKs are legit. ---

I had the same problem with my shutter. I think I went through about 2 bearings trying to clean and do so much stuff to fix my shutter. I got a n9 floater in a trade a while back, and I know a lot of people on here don’t like magic yoyo because they want the money to go back to the yoyo community, but the n9 came with a bearing that was concave in shape, and it was really nice and it fit my shutter great. best part was that the n9 isn’t exactly the best yoyo, so I took a less than pare bearing and put it on the n9 and it plays great. 🙂 That’s my two cents anyway. ---

Stores that fly under the radar might not get replaced… mangling the store name might fool it… but really, those of us who are regular guests around here just wouldn’t want to mention another store anyhow. I think it’s more to automagically cover up slip-ups by n00bs. ---
