So I have my old fast 201 and I hate it. It is so annoying, but I don’t want to get rid of it. It has a nice weight to it so I want to silicone it. I heard that you can just silicone the little starburst holes, but I removed the starbursts and it was still responsive. Would siliconing it make it responsive? Or should I recess it? I also removed the little o-rings and removed the spacers from the bearing and added duncan spacers. I haven’t cleaned the bearing yet so is that why it is still responsive? ---

filling the holes and cleaning the bearing and breaking it in should make it unresponsive ---

Just wondering, if it doesn’t work I can still recess it. BTW are the fast 201 bearings better than the duncan ones? ---
