Does anyone make a bearing that is narrower than a size C, but not as narrow as a Half Spec? Maybe closer to a .180"? Want to narrow the gap on one of my yoyo’s. Thanks! ---

I’ve had that idea. It would be nice or 3a players I’m sure. ---

I’ve been mentioning this for years and haven’t found one yet. I really want them, as well. ---

Check at a hobby store. They normally have a large variety of bearings in the RC car area. ---

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t the usual approach to “need to fine tune the string gap”, to “try out thicker/thinner strings”? ---

He’s looking for a step change, more than you’d get with string thickness.
