Just a little more perspective offered from this same conversation not to long ago: > [@Flat Bearing](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/flat-bearing/299490/57): > > Well if we shipped with concave bearings then anyone who wanted flat bearings would have the same problem. This critique can be made of anyone making yoyos as I don’t think anyone ships with both (which would mean you are still paying for one you don’t want). Our customers seem to be about 50/50 on which kind they like so not matter what half the people will be replacing the bearing. > [@Flat Bearing](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/flat-bearing/299490/59): > > I completely understand! In the end, it all boils down to personal preference, not really something that a yoyo company should have to deal with, unless there is a general consensus within the yoyo community. > [@Flat Bearing](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/flat-bearing/299490/60): > > Totally slight_smile And the way we deal with it is to put a high priority on getting the bearing post size correct (not an easy thing to do) so that customers are able to easily change the bearing. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/one-drop-flat-bearings-are-outdated-change-my-mind/302430)._
