Response pads for old yo-yos.

Hi everyone, I did a bit of searching but I couldn’t find anything relevant, so I thought I’d ask.
I recently got back into yo-yoing, and have started to look at my old collection. I have and old HSPIN Pyro, a YYF G5+, and an AnY Freerider. They’re all in good enough shape to use still, but I have no idea what response pads they use. The G5+ is recessed so I could use silicone, but I’d prefer the convenience of a sticker. Anyone know what would fit them? Thanks. Also, what kind of stickers could I use for an Anti-Yo Ywet? Again, I could use silicone, but I’d like to know some options before I buy the silicone.

HSPIN used a silicone pad. In the Pyro can use the Duncan Silicone pads, the “large bearing” size (13.7 mm ID). I use them in my G & E 4 and they work just fine.

In the YYE store they’re listed with the Duncan friction stickers:

The G5+ used born crucial ghost pads, but I don’t believe those are still being made.  The Ghost pads are the same size as the cbc 21mm Broad pads, you can find those here: http://shop.yoyoexpert.com/product/64/YoYoFactory-Response

As for the Pyro, you will probably want to use Dif-Pads available here: http://shop.yoyoexpert.com/product/195/Dif-E-Yo-DIF-Pads

And the AnY Freerider used their own type of Pad response.  I don’t know what you would use for it now.

Oh, awesome. Thanks. You think those would fit the Freerider too? The seat looks about the same size

Oh yes, looking back at the specs they came with dif pads. The G&E 4 came with silicone.

The Duncan silicone pad works better IMO.
