Love playing the Kasm guts in fixie mode. So snappy, so reliable. ---

Thanks! It’s pretty good for slightly longer string tricks. Stalls and other fixie oriented tricks feel a little strange because of the extra rim weight. ---

It’s very dope and I love it! I like the diameter bc it fits my hands well and the subtle inner circle changing colors is nice bc I like seeing when the yoyo flips but it’s still cohesive. Response is silky and perfect tbh flips and stays on plane when i want like stable and easy to land on the string. Just a super good fixed axle yoyo. String has been taking forever to break in but works with the yoyo well and I’m low on thinner strings so I appreciate that it will last lol. Edit ooo and the spin time on it is bonkers good ---

Haha thanks, it was originally Navy but 2 years of daily play has worn the finish to a purple-pink colour. I estimate about 1000 hours of play so far.

How do you set it up as fixie? I’ve tried some metal spacers that work decently and keep going back and forth between that and a glued up bearing. Curious to hear your thoughts. ---

Had the same thought. I have on my todo list modeling a fixed axle 3d print for mine since the glued bearing just doesn’t really hit for me. ---

I’m using a POM blank from Soulfuel in my RBC, and Teak Wood blanks for C, slim c, and D, also from Soulfuel. I also have some of the blanks from mcmaster carr and they work alright for A bearings but not C sized bearings. ---
