This definitely looks like what you would get from something rubbing and shredding that string. ---

Ironically, I got a Weekender same day Plasms arrived, and it’s really been the only thing that’s pried my fingers off the Plasm in the last 24 hours, not for long though mind you lol, but yes, the Weekender is amazing I’d love to see a Bolt with Weekender or Plasma guts, because I love the feel of Delrin and the slimline organic shape of the new Bolts are amazing ---

I found a supplier for MR85W4ZZ bearings offering them in ABEC1, 3, and 5. Any thoughts on what would be the best option if I wanted to pick some up? ---

Doc sells a responsive edition but it’s just the green colorway, clear pogs, and a greased up half spec C. ---

I didn’t realize cracks in the Plasm were such a thing! I don’t seem to have any, but now I’m afraid I’ll develop some. ---

The cracks should just be in the b-grades and not develop further from what mark has said, apparently theyre an issue with the molding process that they didnt clean the hubs prior to the molding. ---

I got a Bolt when I got my Weekender a couple weeks ago. I immediately switched to a slim C because I prefer responsive play. The finish is amazing and its very well balanced and smooth. I need to play with it more, but my hands have been occupied by the Plasm and Weekender. @AudreySickburn would you be willing to part with a couple of the wide MR85s if you end up getting some? I’ll gladly pay for them. ---
