Thread: pgm weight rings

Hi,

I have 1st run of pgm (green translucent with red hubs), but shopped 2st hand and no include any weight rings.

I want to give more weight to this yo-yo. Someone can give me details of this rubber weight? diameter?

Thanks!

You can always make weight rings out of an 1/8 inch copper wire. It will bend easily and one ring made from it weigh about the same as two PGM rings.

Other than that just take your PGM to the hardware store and try different rubber o-rings in it.

They are a standard plumbing supply item called O-rings - I believe 3/16. inch thick. Don't now the diameter.

In the US you can find them at a hardware store. Don't know what you would call it in Spain. If you can find a store take the yoyo and see what size fits in the shell.

I finally bought this rubber rings at local hardware shop. 1 euro booth.







I guess there are thick than other and doesn't fit exactly, but do they job. I didn't notice any new vibe.

Thanks all

Great you found them. thickness - yeah, there's probably not a direct english to metric size conversion. And "close enough" is good enough.

And as to the fit - the ones that come stock are a very tight fit as well. Takes some effort to get them to lay smooth in the shell. Yours look like you've got them in pretty good.
