romeviThe timer is just on the iPhone clock. The spinners in these most recent pics are the Remedy with the Kong adapter in copper. I really didn't think a 7.5 minute table spin was even possible from any spinner, let alone this Remedy, that had me in let-down mode for the last three days. But now......😁😎👍🏻👊🏻👊🏻💥🎉. Sure, it added 50% to the cost, but I think worth it. Heck, I think both Massdrop and Fidget HQ should shower me with free product just for finding the absolute perfect combination .
And the other spinners are the WE Knife spinners models S01 (bar), and S02 (tri lobe). They recently added an all-black version of the S02 trispinner. Looks absolutely amazing.

KumiUse a little hammer to set it in. Its very snug and tight. Mine was as well. But it fits, perfectly. I used a little watch malice to bang in the little excess that I couldn't push in with my finger tips.

KumiMine just dropped straight in. It is brand new, and for 608toR188. Make sure the grub screws are backed out so they don't interfere.

BflyingMine was a hassle to set in lol. I had to really push it in with my fingers. I guess the diameter in which the bearing fits wasn't all made to equal. Really shows the poor quality control they had on these spinners which is a real bummer...

After backing out the Remedy grub screws yet one more time, I reach for the tiny tin containing Kong. Yeah, sounded funny to me too. 😂 Anyway, I grab the tiny Kong, give it a flick, and........deflation. I'm now totally bummed. This thing doesn't even spin, no sense bothering to take the time working with the Remedy. So I go to set the Kong down, but take one last look before I do, and......it's spinning!!.! And has been this whole time I was sitting here feeling sorry for myself. It was just so smooth and quiet, I didn't even realize. Wow! May I say WOW again?
So into the Remedy it goes. And the irony is not lost on me that the Kong is the Remedy for a Giant angry gorilla of a product. 😜 Because of the loose tolerance issues I'be had, I took my time making sure the thing was as level as possible, and the grub screws as equal as humanly possible.
I can now say that this new hybrid , or should I say, RemeKong, is the smoothest, longest spinning thing I have ever had. So this is at least one solution. Maybe Massdrop could work up a deal with FidgetHQ for a free, or nominal cost to Remedy buyers and put this thing to bed.
I'm an OCD fidgeter, and don't usually have the patience to table spin and stare. But do occasionally to benchmark and/or compare one to another. But this new buildup screamed to be tested. Within minutes of having the grub screws snugged in, I set it down for one, and one only spin for the timer. My phone still had the times of the original build, when I was trying to convince myself that this hunk of brass wasn't as bad as it seemed. The pic below shows my best spins with the original bearing? And my one and only spin with the Kong. The pic tells the rest of the story. Yeah, that's right. Unadulterated!
