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: > **[Duncan Response](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/products/duncan-silicone-groove-sg-yoyo-stickers?variant=41206787997886)** > > This is replacement response for your silicone groove Duncan yo-yos like the new Raptor and Duncan's future aluminum yo-yo releases.The 19mm pads are also compatible with any yo-yos that use the CBC Slim Pad Size 19mm OD.Not sure if it will fit? Feel... ---

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: [YoYoFactory Response Pads – YoYoExpert](http://shop.yoyoexpert.com/product/64/YoYoFactory-Response) As for the Pyro, you will probably want to use Dif-Pads available here: [Dif-E-Yo DIF Pads – YoYoExpert](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 ---

Fantastic guys. Thanks so much. I’m really looking forward to throwing these again
