Yes they are
I agree it’s plays very good fixed.
I use thick lube on the bearing with our the locks and really like that too tho!
Oo that’s what I’m going to try next. Filling the bearing with thick Traxxas silicon lube.
Traxxas lube is fantastic.
I love it in my Thing and Deep State.
Playing this with a poly/nylon blend string also gives incredible spin times but still plays all fixie. It spins so good I thought my glue job on the bearing was bad.
Edit: I settled on Kitty XXL. The 100% poly spins less and feels more fixie. I honestly may never put the bearing back in.
McMaster Carter has got it going on. Here is a blank for the MR85. It’s .5mm wider because they didn’t have 2.5 but I think as fixed it’ll work just fine. This one’s aluminum but they have it in stainless and brass as well.

Still Looking for some volunteers to help film some tricks for Fixed axle February. lots of tricks already shot or claimed but still looking for someone who can present zipper stalls, bucket stalls, and or reverse stalls,
bonus if you can show off split the atom and or starfull tower. we would take those for an example as well.
message me here or jump into the G2 FAF channel to coordinate Discord
and claim your tricks here if you’re willing to help us get things rounded out. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Xv3OF9f-jxTXPDYkYpIFzOozLKkoFRxwj0-Ch0_IVYo/edit?usp=sharing
@Ardeus has us covered on Bucket Stall.
Was just testing for my own sake.
Trying Split the Atom on an old Butterfly is reminding me why I quit yoyo-ing for 25 years, lmao!
I’m shook when I see people Spirit Bomb on butterflies.
For the trick vids, are we wanting tutorials or just a video of the trick?
Either. If you do just a video of the trick though, it would be helpful to have multiple angles.
Am I reading the doc right, only thing we need video for is reverse stall, split the atom, and starful tower?
Oh!!! This gives me hope for an amazing mail day too.
Yoooo!!! What??? That got to you so quick! I can’t wait for this!!!
You just gained celebrity status…
I live just north of Chicago, so yoyos get to me from Jake pretty quick. I was actually expecting it on Saturday, but the weather slowed it down.
