Hey guy, I was wondering if these:

[http://yoyoexpert.com/product/yoyojam/silicone/index.php](http://yoyoexpert.com/product/yoyojam/silicone/index.php)

are a good idea instead of buying a tube of silicone and doing it myself.

Do they last as long?&nbsp; Do they work as well?

Would they fit my DM?&nbsp; It says any standard YYJ O-ring size, so I’m guessing it would…

Opinions?

And if you don’t want to mess with the goop, YYJ silicone is a great way to go.

And as far as play goes, the yoyos mentioned above uses it. Therefore, it should play nicely. I don’t know how long it will last. But if durability is what you are looking for, I have heard that AnY O-pads last as close to eternety one could possibly get. But somepeople claim that binds tend to slip on those.

Addment: These is MUCH easier than filling a groove with silicone. And also less messy.

And to add onto what Pheenix said, yes - these last a very long time, a couple months actually and they provide nice tight binds for the whole ride :wink:
