Hi peeps šŸ–– I thingled a thAng. A fixed-axel thing to be exact. And now I am asking myself, if this project was a success, if I reached close to what a fixed-axel YoYo can do? So I would like to ask, what I should expect from a decent fixed-axel in terms of sleep-/playtime? ---

I have decent fixies that sleep 4 seconds and I have decent Dixieā€™s that will spin 20-30 seconds with a hard throw that hurts your arm. Depending what your goal is, sleep time isnā€™t extremely important on fixie. For me, response is far more important than spin time. ---

Thanks. I see. My goal is to get a good retro beater out of it, that can rock some babies or twist some brain. Your answer leads me to the logical next question: What are you looking for in your fixie-response? Feel? Type? ---

I agree I think itā€™s helpful to try and avoid thinking about the benchmarks regarding fixed axle as being comparable to beating out unresponsive throws. Itā€™s apples and oranges and overall feel is so essential. I like the feel of wood. The density and the grain. The aesthetic. There are plenty of fixies I can use to emulate an unresponsive throw but they arenā€™t typically the ones I prefer to play. Best bet is to try out a pretty wide diversity and see what sticks w you. If yo can get one I HIGHLY recommend scoring one of the new @Ardeus throws, as they break n SO nice. Great balance of spin time, response, and flippability. ---

Tonight I gave my Frankenstein-Woodyo a solid test and I am super happy. What a fun little thing. The steel-axle-mod made a peach out of a ball of manure. But I noticed, that the string gets worn considerably faster than on my H-shape, modern responsive (as expected). Frankenstein was already running away twice and I did not even chase him with a torch. :fire: How much play time do you get out of a string on a fixie? šŸ§¶ :yo-yo: ---

Not sure on the blend, I got it from @Yodaddyo. I really just use it because I thought the Pink looked nice on my Red Butterfly. ---

:joy: Nice. This perfectly describes most of my process, choosing strings. Well, I know that poly is more robust than cotton, if that is true? And there is nylon. Ou! And it should be yellow. Yellow plays best. (What do I do with my pink now?) Thatā€™s as far as I got. :joy: šŸ™ˆ ---

I like it nice and snappy and most importantly, reliable. I want it to respond the same way every time, while still allowing, at the very least, 3-5 seconds of spin time (more is good, too). I donā€™t know if I have a favorite type of response. I like the pads in my rbc. I like the starburst in my butterflies. Keith @TryCatchThrow has a really nice ā€œtic tacā€ response on his 3d printed fixies. I think, what Iā€™m essentially trying to get at, is any response type can be good if itā€™s done right. Main things I look for: snappy- comes back immediately with a light(ish) tug, reliable- responds the same way every time. ---

Honestly, it seems like youā€™re on the hunt for a no jive or BC Apollo. Consistent response, can sleep a decent amount of time, and can most certainly do those old school tricks you called out. Also, @Eric_Newlin is selling some of his Gnomads currently on the fixie discord. Super awesome wood fixies. ---
