They’ll add 7.4g to the base weight of the yoyo halves. Yuki ---

Summit clocks in at 64.2g base weight so adding discs will bring it up to 71.6g. Word of warning though, I’ve tried a Summit with mini-discs (4.7g) and even with those on, it turns into an absolute brick on the end of the string. I’d hate to imagine what full size discs will do but hey, the point of side effects is to experiment, right? Let me know how it goes! Yuki ---

This thread has a list of many SE weights: > **[Yelets Side Effects question.](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/forums/index.php/topic,56914.msg585043.html)** > > Just take the poll down and leave the discussion. The poll doesn’t answer the questions you are asking in the initial post and it does not include all of the current Side Effects. Plus, there is nothing wrong with including the Stunt Pegs, just... According to that list, normal discs are 7.2g.  Nickel-plated discs are 7.4g. ---
