Hey guys. I am planning to pick up a Magic YoYo N5. I’ve done a lot of research because I am a noob. I was reading and watching videos up about these Response/Brake Pads for yo yo’s and how they need to be replaced once in a while. I can’t seem to find a store on the internet that sells Magic YoYo branded brake/response pads. Will any other brand work fine with the N5 from Magic YoYo? Thanks! ---

As long as it fits it should work fine, as far as I know magicyoyos have similar size with most yoyos today, but to be sure try measuring the response depth and width and ask the store if it will fit. ---

You can use flowable silicone in place of the response pads. I did it to my t9 dark angel yesterday, and it made it so much better response wise. You will be able to do many yoyo’s out of one tube/syringe of silicone as well. ---

Is it some sort of superglue? can you give me a guide on how to install it. Thanks! ---

It’s really not risky. Check here for more info: [Useful modification and maintenance guides - Clean, repair, tune, fix yoyos](http://yoyoexpert.com/forums/index.php/topic,17792.0.html) ---

The only risk is getting some in the bearing seat which punishes you with a minute of picking it out with a tooth pick ---

Honest mate my nan could probably do it and she died in 2005, its that easy. Its not risky, you can’t damage the yoyo. ---
