I give you... The FrankenPeak!

[ricerocket]

I got this Peak from ReverendYoaround May of '08.  He had done a custom ano job to the Peak, but somehow the bearing seat on one half had gotten damaged.  I bought it from him planning to SPR it.  One thing led to another, end it ended up looking like this:



Hubless Peak!  Far out!  So, I put the two halves in a box and figured someday I'd get around to doing a hub mod on it.  Well, that time has come!  About a week ago I decided to get a 1" black delrin rod to make hubs for the Peak out of.  Here are the new hubs cut and ready to go in the Peak:



Here they are after pressing and gluing them into the Peak halves:



After letting the yoyo sit for 24 hours to make sure everything was set up (the hubs were an extremely tight fit, but I decided to use a little Gorilla Super Glue just to make sure they weren't going anywhere!).  Tonight I drilled and tapped a thread 'repair' insert and recessed in a Born Crucial SPR.  This means that you could also drop in a small bearing SPR to play it either as a large or small bearing!  I am out of small bearing SPRs, so I can't say how it plays as a small bearing

Plays great.  No wobble, light vibe 

I wish I had a small bearing SPR to try the Peak out as a small bearing.

Looks sick. Maybe you could stack it as well?

Well done, I dislike the hubs though.
