That was one awesome byproduct of putting the blank in my RBC too. Pretty fun to throw around in complete silence. ---

Yeah I loved my RBC but it was like yo-yoing with a hornet hive on a string. I had to wear headphones and throw in my office with no family around. Blank fixed that. ---

I’m autistic and noise sensitive the sound of even a lubed bearing in the RBC makes me want to lay down on the ground and die on the spot or run screaming through a plate glass window. Same with most Ti yo-yos. Most dry bearings too honestly. I’m glad I had the good sense to not watch this video of a dry bearing in one, it would probably destroy me for the day and I have work to do :joy: My family is also autistic and so all unresponsives, Ti, or other noisy bearings are played in my office workshop alone with noise canceling headphones on.
