Best response would be Duncan 12mm Silicone Stickers. > **[Duncan Response](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/products/duncan-silicone-groove-sg-yoyo-stickers?variant=41206787997886)** > > This is replacement response for your silicone groove Duncan yo-yos like the new Raptor and Duncan's future aluminum yo-yo releases.The 19mm pads are also compatible with any yo-yos that use the CBC Slim Pad Size 19mm OD.Not sure if it will fit?
