Will there still be another FG release on bgradeyoyos.com soon?
Yep. They're being engraved now, should be ready early next week. Keep an eye on bgradeyoyos.com for details. They like to drop them suddenly and without warning. :)
Will you guys start using heli-coil inserts? It makes sense because it greatly reduces the chance of stripping a return top.
No, we won't. Adding another object to the return top introduces another potential problem and another piece that may or may not hold tolerances. The best option we've found for people to avoid stripping the axle well in their return tops is for them to not overtighten their return tops. It has worked for millions of people for the past 20 years of take-apart return tops. ;)
What flat bearing is in the bonfire? onedrop 10 ball? Why does the bonfire now have a flat instead of the center trac bearing?
It's a new 10-ball that our friends at YoYoExpert helped us find. Since we had a huge outcry of complaints about using the CTX in our return tops, we thought we'd switch to something new that was a little more in line with what people wanted...or, at least what people complained about less. ;)
