Use Slick-6 strings or Cotton, gives a nice grip
Is the recess deep enough for silicone?
100%, both my weekenders and my day tripper are siliconed, no issues even after a lot of play
This is awesome to hear. I’m always fretting the day the Core CO’s in mine go bad. Have you experimented with any other pads in them like Freehand pads?
Yes I have, the freehand pads have a slightly smaller inner diameter which made fitment weird, but still fits.
The problem wuth those is they’re thinner than coreco pads, so they are recessed more than I would have wanted. Actually felt like an artificially wider gap which increased kickback. I liked them initially, but very quickly I turned on them lol
That is a lovely throw. The pads look nice too
Sweet. I love Hollywood modern. It’s a silly business model cause you order once then you really don’t have to order again for a long long while but it’s so worth it.
Half swap and cap swap. The other pair is just half swapped for now. I think my favorite though is just pink body’s with blue caps
Hmmmm, I have been considering it… I just didn’t want to mess with the stock pads since I don’t have replacements. But I also wish it was more responsive, even as a fixie. Maybe I’ll give it a try. And I’ll see if I can dig the pads out without wrecking the adhesive backing.
If you have a loonie how does the Duccling compare? Or even with the toonie?
clear flowable will 100% make it more responsive, its way softer silicone than normal pads.
i’m also pretty sure i might have some RBC pads at home, if i do i can mail them to you?
Okay, I’m going to try it! I was about to do it now but found my flowable is toast. Soooo I’ll have to get more.
Yes, sure I’d love that, thanks Brandon. I’ve been gradually stockpiling them.
Oh, wait you were referring to CoreCo pads! I definitely have a bunch of those. Would be happy to send a pair with my rbc pads (if they exist, i dont even have an rbc lol)
Lol yes, I meant in my weekender. I think the stock RBC pads are great. – If you are looking to offload them, I’m happy to take them. But you don’t have to. As I have been stockpiling them. haha
I dont have a loonie but it feels like the duccling is just as capable as my toonie but lighter. The gap even seems easier to hit. I highly recommend. I expected it to be good and it delivered.
Here is me trying it on TikTok.
Is there a specific brand you’d recommend?
Just like Frank’s Red Hot, I put this ■■■■ on everything lol. Unresponsive yoyos I set with a deep recess, responsive yoyos I set flush
Today I learned I don’t have to worry about typing curse words on here because the forum auto censors it. ■■■■
Also, thanks for the rec!
