Modded ash eH. I bashed this one into the ground and cracked the rim. So I whittled and sanded it down to a super-slimline. Really light but it works perfectly for a lot of my stuff. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/9/1/2/9122d5794d05ba96bf410c9c7edb82b5c336ea88.jpeg) ---

It would be easy to gush about the new TMBR releases, but this week in the [Favorite Yoyofactory Throw](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/favorite-yoyofactory-throw/302235) thread the Legend Wing got a lot of deserving praise and fan fare. @yyfben2.deactivated also enlighten us on its [single piece of wood construction](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/favorite-yoyofactory-throw/302235/41) without the use of any glue, a design element dating back to Pedro Flores. I just recently picked up a [DNA Pulsar Pack](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/new-yoyofactory-pulsar-collection/301886) and got an amazingly engraved Plusar Legend Wing that just needs to be thrown today. The Legend Wing is one of the few throws I have several of extra ones lying around , so I can give them away as gifts and always have a fresh spare. It might not be a boutique wood, but I think it plays better than some and it comes in at a [price point](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/products/yoyofactory-legend-yoyo) that makes having a contemporary fixie accessible to everyone. I even like the stock cotton strings they come with, overall a great value and a fun throw thank you YoYo Factory. @DocPop can really [shred the Legend Wing Word to Your Mother](https://youtu.be/cwZp2j_Om8U) ![20190517_094920](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/f/b/3/fb32f2c01de540dee73e1a3fa72d58e125bf7abe.jpeg) ![20190517_093952](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/7/b/c/7bc66d9f451c1a630d9a4e397b2c843d056684f5.jpeg) ![20190517_094036](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/6/e/c6e31d37b3496e7cf07a6d94141e2ac2f587beac.jpeg) Have a good #fixedaxlefriday YYEF 🤙let’s see some Legend Wing pics 📸 ---

The axle doesn’t spin though, therefore it’s a fixed axle 😀 ---

Oh weird, I thought the wooden piece moved around the metal axle… The wooden bit was always stiff when I opened it up but I figured it was just stuck on the threads or something. Hah! I can just blame it on my Fireball days, right!?!? :wink: Thanks! ---

So i just started into fixed axle, and have a couple random questions: 1. Do I want the yoyo to sleep at all? I currently have my string triple looped so that it doesn’t sleep at all, but I’m not sure if that’s correct. 2. Do I want my string short? Right now my string is around 40 inches (I’m 6’2 for reference) 3. Do I have to be conscious of my string potentially breaking? Also, I feel like I read somewhere about replacing the axles; is that a thing?
