I just installed Duncan Silicone pads on both sides of my stock FHZ. I tossed it a couple times and found it moderately responsive. It didn’t seem to snag, but would return on a stiff tug.
How long will this last for? Will it eventually go unresponsive and require a bind?
If you want pure unresponsiveness, clean your bearing. After cleaning your bearing, it should be very unresponsive even with the Duncan Silicone Pads in. My Duncan Silicone Pads took 0 seconds to be unresponsive, because the bearing was dry.
