Funky sizes (or when stock is wiped) I usually look on McMasterCarr. They have a bearing section where you can filter by the specific dimensions.
Good reference here if ever needed:

All I see is the metric system…
does anyone more intelligent than I have the specs for a Size E bearing?
There is a Custom Mag, Custom Reactor, and TK SB2 all for sale by the same dude in Cincinnati on FB Marketplace that caught my attention. Around $50 a piece asking prices though. Don’t know if that’s good or bad.
Great deal on the TK SB2 in my opinion. The Custom stuff is good, nothing wrong with them inherently, and as mentioned, aesthetically look awesome, but I just think there are some designs that do it better from a performance standpoint, especially since their time.
All tastes are a bit different though, so, grain of salt and all that. They’re still fun for certain.

I’m not finding the exact size; it might be the same price to just buy a Tigershark and snatch the bearing from it.

Looks like what you would be looking for, only option is shielded though, if that matters.

I could probably set aside an entire weekend and de-shield a bearing.
Now you have to get one, Veedo’s the man!

I scored the Red Reactor on ebay for under $20, so I’d make him a deal.

That’s definitely a fantastic deal.

I am kind of looking for a Reactor.
The financial situation at home is kind of funny, we aren’t struggling, but we don’t have enough for me to earn some money without feeling bad about it later.
thanks for the offer, but I can’t right now, I hope you understand.

Does anyone have the measurements for Butterfly Cap Stickers again? I want to make sure I have them right.
.95 inches / 24.2 mm diameter for the butterfly cap
Hope that’s helpful

Was just reminded of this on the subject of shims for an XT you can use a 1/4" drill bit and drill a hole in an old credit card and then cut out that hole if you understand what I mean.

Did my first “Mod” today, I satined a Freehand One!
I didn’t have a drill, so I just threw the yo-yo, and sanded it while it was spinning.

Love it. Used to have an OG Bolt and some Boltlegs with a satined finish. I loved the way they grinded.
Well done

I’ll add a video of me performing some arm grinds on it, it works great for that now!
(Keep in mind, I’m a bit of an arm grind amateur)
