Heya guys. I’m interested in getting a YYF Genesis soon, hopefully in Yoga Flame color. I see that it takes a Silicone Pad response system. Is this a good response system? I’m a complete noob when it comes to response systems unlike the Velocity… Is the default Silicone Pad thing good? Is there a groove that I can put an O-Ring in instead? Different kinds of pad? Which is best? Also, I’m not really in the know about bearings either. Is a Konkave/Groove bearing worth having? Or better to just stick with the regular steel? Tell me what you think! Thanks, -DreadAlert-. ---

The silicone pad is a great response system. However, you cannot put O-Rings in, and a few other types of pads can fit. The bearing is perfectly fine the way it is. However, I do suggest adding a small amount of lube when it comes - SPEC bearings usually arrive dry. ---

Samad hit the nail on the head. Lube is all you need.
