I use a sewing needle to remove the c clips but some of them come press fit in with no clips. They can still be removed but you need to pierce them to leverage out. I can [sell](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/sold-out-upcycled-homebrew-mr85-bearing-blanks/396966) one that I have made with epoxy. Pm me if you would like one. šŸ˜Š ---

I think after over a year I finally figured out varials! Iā€™ve landed a couple here and there before, but it was like 1/100 success rate. Now I can land every 1 out of 5! Landed it maybe a dozen times in the past 30min. My biggest mistake leading up to now was I would pop the yoyo up and then pull my throw hand back, trying to use that string only to rotate the yoyo, trying to leave my non-throw hand in the trapeze the whole time motionless. Iā€™m here to tell ya, you have to pull your non throw hand finger out from the trapeze and the yoyo will rotate! Cant believe how long that trick took me to learn. ---

I just dropped super glue right onto the shield and it worked great. Mine were press fit so I just put on a drop and spread it out with a toothpick. Tried to make sure I got some into the holes and gaps between the race and the shield. ---

I am getting Royce! He will also be named Dr. Teeth. I wanted a No Jive after seeing Edā€™s videos and blog, but was worried that Iā€™m not skilled enough to get it tuned well. So despite declaring to myself a week ago that I wasnā€™t buying any more yoyos for a while, I caved and got the last unclaimed one. ---

Spin time mostly your gonna get maybe 3-5 seconds on a fixed axle vs a bearing going much longer. Also usually response. Both are friction but often a modern responsive with a bearing is going to be a pad while a fixed axle is going to be the gap and inside of the YoYo. Sometimes response holes or even turbo disks or something along those lines. Play wise they are the same in tricks mostly but itā€™s a right tool for right job thing. You can do any trick on a fixie but itā€™s gonna be harder than a bearing. Play wise your gonna lean allot more into stalls on a fixed axle and more strong tricks on a bearing but thatā€™s a super generalization ---

But both are capable of all the same tricks, right? Is there an advantage/disadvantage tradeoff? Do those who use fixed axle just like the nostalgic feel of it? ---

Stall like tricks are going to feel easier on a fixed axle. While bearings will help more with a string trick or picture trick. You can do any trick with nearly any YoYo but some like the challenge a classic butterfly shaped fixed axle adds Also thereā€™s a whole 0A style with stalls as the primary function that while bearing yo-yos can do really leans into the advantages of a wood butterfly shaped yoyo Some argue fixed axle looping is easier but once you get past basic loops you need a bearing to really excel as the learning curve ramps up hard and the grind is already brutal. ---
