Pretty much the title says it all. I need to pick up some C and A responsive bearings and generally wanted to know if anyone had a recommendation on ones they have or use that are good/good spin time?
My young son and his friends in the neighborhood throw responsive yo-yo’s and I wanted to get some replacements for their throws.
This is what you want and some thick lube ;
(SPEC Small Bearing (Size A) - 5x10x4 mm)
(SPEC Half Bearing (Narrow) - .125 x .500 x .187 in)
(Thick Lube (More Response))
Thank you so much!
not sure if spin time is what you’re really looking for for responsive. anyway, fast eddy bearings has great quality bearings and they come packed with grease which makes em perfect for responsive without lube. the ones I’ve gotten from them I’ve never had to add anything to in the year I’ve been using them, which is perfect for me because i absolutely despise lube. also, you can buy them in bulk if you want
I will try and look them up online! Thank you!!!
I second Fast Eddies! I buy in bulk and their bearings are perfect for responsives. They don’t have c bearings in stock at the moment but I use them for a, d, mr85, tom Kuhn bearings, g bearings, weird bearings I’m planning to use. For c bearings anything is good honestly grab the dimensions and buy them from Amazon or Ali express or wherever if you need a bunch.
Fast Eddies thirded.
And for low maintenance responsive A bearings for kids, I’d strongly recommend double rubber shields. They add a little bit of resistance, which in itself helps keep it responsive, and they also are vastly better at keeping the lube/grease inside and keeping dirt/dust outside. What you want for “A” size are MR105-2RS bearings, which you can find at Fast Eddies or any number of other places.
Unfortunately “half spec C” aren’t made with rubber shields. You can however get full width flat C bearings with rubber shields (R188-2RS).
I just wanted to thank all of you.
I ended up trying these to start:
FastEddy did not have any R188-2RS so I just tried these Fushi Bearing Company bearings to start.
I really appreciate the help. I’ll let you know how these C bearings work out. They were not insanely expensive, so we will see.
I like Fushi for responsive bearings. Those should be good c bearings for responsive once you add grease.
Awesome! Glad I didn’t pick something no one had ever head of!
