Pad questions?

[Wildo (Will)]

So, I’m trying find the best pad for this 650b. Don’t think you can get coreco pads anymore..

Anyone know the correct size?

I’m pretty sure these are friction stickers.

That’s an old one

I have never seen a pad like that in my life. That being said, you can use permatex gear oils (aka flowable silicone) as a stand-in for response pads with unique sizes that may no longer be in circulation! Let me find the link to the thread

Permatex 22074 Ultra Grey for very unresponsive return system

Tried some ultra grey about a week ago on some yo-yos that frustrated me. Both yo-yos have non typical pads, A bearing and CLYW. Pulled out one pad each, and did flush grey in the leaf and recessed in the cold fusion. [IMG_6439] [IMG_6440] After 1 week of play. Both yo-yos have gotten about an hour each of play, maybe more. Both are a little more enjoyable. The Leaf feels much more powerful now. [IMG_6545] [IMG_6547] Comparison of other pads. [IMG_6548] Here’s some of the clear flowa…

Thanks Ben, much appreciated. I think that’s exactly what’s gonna have to go down. I’m pretty sure I’ve tortured the internet to death with 650b questions over the last couple years… I’ve probably asked this forum this question at least three times

You’ll need a .555 pad, the AlleyCat OG used Chaz Pads or Duncan Friction Stickers

You are in luck big restock of Duncan Friction stickers at YYE . 761 4 packs

Short answer Duncan friction stickers will work. So will diff pads if you can find any

Also permatex would work great

I thought these were friction stickers that I’d put on there, but I have no evidence to support that I found em in a bag on the back of my shelf.

Could also be diff pads. Looks like them to me but idk so hard to tell

[Wildo (Will)]

That makes 100% sense. They were all kinda scrambled together. Thanks man

I wouldn’t recommend silicone for such a shallow recess. I would recommend Duncan friction stickers. For a standard groove silicone works great, but for these more shallow recesses it tends to not stick as well and usually rips out. Some people have had luck with a certain type of silicone, but it’s a hit or miss type of thing.

Thanks man! Appreciate the info. I had actually thought what I’d put on were friction stickers, but they ended up being dif pads. whoops.

So yeah, looks like I’ll be buying some actual friction stickers.

As gross as black and red rtv are to apply I remember both being old school ways to get those type of response to work. I know I have a few shallow response throws with black rtv in them

I’ve also seen folks use linen tape to make a custom diy turbo disk like pad
