Coudnt you remove one friction sticker and clean the bearing. Since all fhz are sticker recess. ---

Stock normal fhzs aren’t recessed Light up fhzs come pad recessed. I highly recommend one of these. No modding required. You can get some spacer kits and convert any fhz to a wider shape with pad recess You can buy one from another shop modded by the modfather. He has various mods you can choose from. Just google Modfather fhz etc you should be able to find it. He did great work ---

Thankyou. I’m really into a solid color FHZ. Is this what i’m looking for? [http://shop.yoyoexpert.com/product/71/Duncan-Bearing-and-Parts-Kit](http://shop.yoyoexpert.com/product/71/Duncan-Bearing-and-Parts-Kit) I really dont care that much if its pad- or sili-recessed. As long as i get the gap wide enough and it plays unresponsive! ---

No sorry, they are called mod spacers. You need a “small bearing” kit and an “offstring” kit. I’ll explain later with a video. I’m working right now but can probably have it up in about 4 hours. But if you search for my thread called “your favorite fhz”… On the first post i show directions ---

Oh, i see… I’m into widening the gap and keep the original design though, those spacers might not be the thing for me. But for just widening the gap to 4 mm (the width of the a-bearing), the kit i linked to should be alright? Or? ---

Never used those, it’s possible that it could widen the gap. I might be wrong here, but if the spacer kit you’re looking at doesn’t work, i think your next option would be either a highwalled or large bearing fhz. Ill try to get more info when i get home… I got tons of different fhzs and a bag full of metal spacers. My hypothesis right now is light up fhz has the best spacers for widest gap. If so, i have an extra set i can mail out. Any other questions? ---

The recess makes the gap wider, though the spacers looks similar in size… What i want is spacers that make the bearing-seat go flush with the wall. Not lie below the wall, like they do stock. Do you understand what i mean? 🙂 ---

yes I know what you mean, and the response recess doesn’t make the gap wider. But the recess for the spacers which could vary between the light ups and the normal ones… I know the spacers in the Light-Ups are higher quality. I got a crap ton of FHZ’s. I’m very well versed in them, put in a lot of research I just got home, I’ve been very busy. I’ll look at my fhz’s and post in a second. ---

> [@Eastfield](#): > > What i want is spacers that make the bearing-seat go flush with the wall. Not lie below the wall, like they do stock. Do you understand what i mean? 🙂 You can shim the spacers to bring the bearing seat flush with the wall. Thin cardboard or heavy paper will work fine. ---

Won’t the largest pair of spacers in that kit do that? Those who look like they’re made out of brass or something? EDIT: Check this out: > **[Duncan](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/collections/duncan)** > > Duncan is the most widely recognized yo-yo name in the entire world. Since 1929, the name "Duncan" has been synonymous with "yo-yo" across the United States, and for good reason! Their yo-yos represent the top-of-the-line for beginners or... Look at the color of the spacers. Silver/grey, right? Look at the color of the spacers of this modded FHZ: [http://www.highspeedyoyo.com/reviews/a-m/cyclon-yoyos/duncan-freehand-zero-modified-by-alex-franke](http://www.highspeedyoyo.com/reviews/a-m/cyclon-yoyos/duncan-freehand-zero-modified-by-alex-franke) Not the same color, right? Those “brass”-looking spacers look to me to be the largest coming with the bearing and spacer kit. 🙂 ---

A. Yes the brass ones are wide, but my belief is that the light up has slightly wider and for sure higher quality spacers. They could be the same exact size though, still haven’t checked. Regardless, fhzs are packaged with thin and wide spacers. B. The reason the gap looks so wide on that isn’t cuz of spacers, it’s cuz it’s a large bearing, which are wider than a-sized bearings ---
