Happy Friday, these arrived yesterday just in time for FixedFri and my week off next week! A pair of red oak SW KNack (~48g) and Bloodcell (~52g) with the new 6-shooter response. I’ve always wanted a KNack, I love the aesthetic and design, but I’m actually really enjoying the bloodcell and it might be my fav of the two, the extra 4 grams (due to it being a denser piece of oak) and the rounded profile are feeling really nice to me! Super comfortable in the hand and on the catch. It also happens to spin smoother than the KNack. Though I will say that the KNack’s profile is easier to catch on varials and such. ![IMG_1638](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/6/b/3/6b39359315c3afc5c5f480a0e1d7cda15553cf6f.jpeg) ![IMG_1635](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/6/d/1/6d13bc48389e8abe253b2f1576976dfa333a477d.jpeg) ---

Those look very nice @anon5341354. Nothing better than fresh boutique crispy fixies. ---

Ignore the gouge in the maple throw 😁. Chase was still interested in one of my first attempts, but I’ve definitely improved the quality even since then. ---

I took a 15 minute call this afternoon and threw a continuous Makin’ da Zines basically the entire time. I was delighted by how consistently the Manta Ray played. ---

Keeping it modular throughout [this week](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/what-are-you-throwing-2022/349770/2752) with Freshly Dirty [Mod-44](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/products/mod44-yoyo-by-freshly-dirty?variant=40640042434750)s. This one has the Slim Jimmies Kit with [3D Printed](https://grabcad.com/library/modular-44-rims-1) rims, and set up fixed with a RSO/TK Silver Bullet 2.4mm Bearing Blank laced with some bulk strings that are too short for 1A, weighting in at 52 grams. This set up either with a Blank or a 1/2 spec bearing is surprisingly awesome for Modern Responsive 0A. Some lathed wooden rims would be next level of epic. ![20220722_091506](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/8/b/0/8b0ea8c94a8016e534804552b8011de77c0383fa.jpeg) ![20220722_091343](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/b/6/a/b6a1def9ddab0cf281262f5f4d50fa5208c4568e.jpeg) ![20220722_091246](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/2/b/f/2bfa53cccc84621210a263c8d055cffa75f40555.jpeg) ![20220722_091210](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/a/b/aab104a3613c5e83c1763b814c776032f3301102.jpeg) ![20220722_091153](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/6/7/3/6733a99dc43799659779eff33cd1ecf9da8ddc0c.jpeg) ---

Probably Oak would be the strongest I imagine, Maples would also have a sweet feel in the hand. I know when FD was introducing these they reached out to Colin of TMBR, but I don’t think he had the time. I know I wouldn’t be the only one interested. The Cad files are [free](https://grabcad.com/library/modular-44-rims-1) and other Delrin rims designs are available on YYE. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/1/a/1/1a1d99aa4cdc23f97cc75a6165e86f4c490b66f9.jpeg) > **[Mod44 Rims](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/products/mod44-rims-accessory-by-freshly-dirty?variant=40640407404734)** > > The Modular 44 is Freshly Dirty's first yo-yo design with interchangeable rims and now they've released a full line of new options!
