If you haven’t already done it, this is your sign to hit up @Ardeus and get you some really good fixies. Don’t let the shipping scare you. Trust me. You will get some very good yoyos for a very good price. It, honestly, kinda feels like I stole these.

Got my A size blanks from Amazon and now my Confusion is a Fixie. Woohoo! Trying to decide if I leave the thicker pads or change to thinner ones. My fear is if I change to thinner ones and don’t like it I can’t go back (don’t have anymore thicks). A bit harder to sleep than I hoped right now with the thick ones though. 
Great for practicing stalls though.

You could clean the thick pads and apply an adhesive to use them again.
Thanks dude!
I’m not sure how thin pads would respond with a blank but with a bearing the thin pads made my Confusion unresponsive… even with a 3mm narrow bearing installed. The thin pads are quite recessed back in their gap and I even tried flowing ultra grey flush in a confusion and couldn’t get it to respond. These were only my experiences and in no way are they meant to discourage you. It’s a real shame you can’t get those thick pads anywhere.

Super helpful info - thank you. I think I’ll stick to the thick then.
Interesting idea. Do you have an adhesive you recommend? I think I’ve decided to just stick with the thick but this is an interesting idea if I change my mind.

If your up for doing a tutorial for FAF25, I think something with your redirection would be awesome.
Yoyo coming back to the hand… Nope, fooled you, I am sending it this way. There was a awesome repeater in that video I would like to learn.

I’m up for it! Which one was it? If you’re talking about the trapeze stall-shoot the moon-back to trapeze stall, that one is deceptively difficult. I can definitely do a tutorial though.
I’ll try to shoot a few different tutorials of some repeaters I’ve discovered and you can take your pick.

Thanks, Ed! They really do regen epically.
I may have to pick up one of @Ardeus fixies–plastic fixies are my jam; I want to love wood so badly, but I just don’t jam with it.

Sounds like you just haven’t gotten a hold of a good wooden fixie. I love plastic, but nothing compares to wood imo. Ardeus replicate the play feel of wood very well, in my opinion. I think that’s why I love them so much. And, they do have wooden axles to be fair. Hickory, I believe.
