Side Effects is our brand new axle system that allows for swapping out the hub. It is designed to be easy to swap while maintaining perfect centering so that the yo-yo is always smooth. The first yo-yo to use this system is the 54. This will become our standard axle system on most future yo-yos that we release.

Swapping out the hub allows for changes in looks, weight and function and we will be releasing lots of different options.

To figure out how much a yo-yo weighs with a particular Side Effect you will need the "Base Weight" of the yo-yo + the weight of the Side Effect.

I'm excited to see what others you guys will come out with. Can't wait!

Ah! there's the brass spikes I was wondering where they went haha.

We have brass on order. The spikes will be available soon.

I for one can not wait for my brass spikes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I got the rip start down totally!!!!!!!

are the discs coming out also? i'll buy whatever comes out, but the discs seemed pretty cool. how about anything titanium or other exotic metals?

what about BEN HUR-esque hub finial spike things?

these things rule.

RULE.

7075 aluminum disks should be available in a week or two. Expect a "rotating side member" version in about a month.

rock on!

always wanted a rotating member.

*rimshot*

i will buy all of these. all of these i will buy.

Yeah, patent speak doesn't really roll off the tongue does it.

not so much, but "side effects" more than makes up for it.

i promise, and ask my girlfriend, all weekend, i've been carrying around the 54, swapping out the side effects, and alternately throwing the thing/staring at it, going, "this is so COOL!"

Wait 'till she hears about the "rotating side member".....

db

Better than calling it the "rotating unit".

"Hey baby, want to see me totally rock the rotating unit?" Yeah, that will get you slapped, either by a hand or with a harassment suit.

I want spikes that are gaudy and potentially dangerous, I want spikes that I have to sign a waver to purchase... could you guys maybe make something like that?

Lol, I'll see what I can do, though it may take awhile.

^^ That would be amazing

Maybe an onion dome spike modeled directly from a Russian Orthodox church?

This is my new alter-ego character: Finial Spike.

hahaha.

i dig the onion dome look.

hey, what about something like this:

Oooooo, I like it.

^^That^ is what I was talking about. Bonus points if you can get them out farther than the rim of the yoyo.
