beefcake was kinda a funny, short lived idea that came from modding henry’s vipers if i’m not mistaken … i remember getting a spintastics GWS when they dropped… you could pretty easily make one from a tigershark though if you have enough axle length. it worked pretty well at the time. ---

Aren’t two half-spec C bearings equivalent in width to a single full-size C bearing? Shouldn’t they produce the same gap width? In any event, I would expect a lot of potential for vibe, for instance if the two bearings don’t line up _exactly_ due to poor bearing seat tolerances. ---

yes, they are two half spec bearings coupled, this to take advantage of the smoothness of their edges so as to obtain a centering groove like on groove bearings. The yoyo’s gap increases slightly because they not are actually half as wide as a standard C but increase by 3-4 tenths of a mm, a minimum distance that doesn’t require a replacement of the axle. As for the atmosphere, no problem, the two bearings are placed in their respective seats. ![IMG_20230714_160233390](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/5/6/a/56a68fb92c89cd253708e0985c08e06fe3514f05.jpeg) ---

Sounds like a potentially interesting hack for a yoyo with too narrow a gap to begin with, e.g., my Dunk. ---

Then why are the two bearings always listed as 0.250 x 0.500 x 0.187 vs. 0.125 x 0.500 x 0.187? What part of the bearing is being measured here such that one is exactly half the other? ---

The OD of both is 0.5" The ID of both is 0.25" Wide C bearings are 0.187" wide (3/16" Slim C bearings are 0.125" wide (1/8") ![IMG_6311](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/8/a/3/8a3a5e7bed7a9d7711d7e9c06ea6283dfbad99e6.jpeg) The listing on YYE for YYF SPEC Half bearing is incorrect. It’s listing a 1/8" inner diameter instead of 1/4", but with the same width as the SPEC large bearing. ---
