With FAF right around the corner, I’ve noticed the topic of bearing blanks being brought up in various threads, so I thought we could consolidate the topic. Personally, I’d really love some A, D, and C sized wooden blanks, but I’ll take what I can get. Does anyone have any leads on bearing blanks, regardless of material? Edit: I’m going to organize all the responses below. Soul Fuel Skill Toys can make just about any sized bearing blank you want in the following materials: Teak wood, POM/Delrin and Brass. They can also make MR85 Blanks in POM. Soul Fuel is also taking pre-orders for their Om Fixed axle yoyo.

I think @Captrogers posted an IG link for someone who makes wooden blanks, but they’re in India. I wouldn’t be opposed, but would be nice to have something that could be delivered in less than 10 days. ---

Instead, I searched for 5x8x2.5 plastic spacers and was able to find some that were shipped from Hong Kong. The spacers fit perfectly inside the RBC, resulting in a pleasing fixie response. Additionally, the bearings came with a complimentary pair of mini cones, which makes for a fun photo op. ---

Be care with these as they are not standard d-bearing width, they are 3mm wide rather than the standard 5mm. They do not fit in a Respawn for example, bearing posts are too long. ---
