Why would you need to? That would be so dumb to put shims on a Campfire. 😛

The campfire has a wide gap. You will be fine.

It all depends on how the bearing seat was cut. If they cut it right on the edge of string slippage then shims won’t work.

What Icthus said. You can put them on pretty much any yo-yo you want, they should fit. The problem comes in when the bearing seat is so shallow that the shims hold the bearing beyond the range of the seat.

The Campfire is such a yo-yo. If you put shims on it, the bearing will stick out too far from the bearing seat, and the string will slip under the bearing.
