Waay before fidget toys were a thing that I was aware of I used to carry around with me an old bullseye derailleur jockey wheel from the 90's when ano aluminium stuff was everywhere. Like a mini fidget spinner but as I knew it's origin and had used it myself for many years it seemed to me to be imbued with something else as well.

The OG spinner! I've just looked them up and they look like they could be an option for a cheap but effective spinner, hmmmm...Waay before fidget toys were a thing that I was aware of I used to carry around with me an old bullseye derailleur jockey wheel from the 90's when ano aluminium stuff was everywhere.

Oh FFS, this just gets worse, love those!
Currently got the only Magnus that's in stock in the basket stop stop stop
And purchased I guess as I cant beat you for comedy value! Enjoy
Not yet lol
Can't see it then, haha. You know I will buy the clover if you need to balance books :)
I dithered and now it's gone :(
Got the clover back, forgot just how nice it is !
Yeah my 2 feel rubbish after.
I’ve ordered a SS bearing for one to see if can make it really smooth. The other I can’t work out how to remove it - looks like a retaining ring, but might be push fit.
There does not seem to be cheap bearing presses out there given the frequency I will be using it!
All my KAPs are push fit, can just change bearings at will
Oh Dave! 😬😂
They don't spin for ages like a proper spinner, but quite relaxing to hold between thumb and middle finger and spin with your index finger. Like I said though mine was taken off a bike I owned and loved so meant more to me personally, not sure a new one would do it for me.
Tbh I'm not bothered about spin times, I know some spinner hobbyists are, but for me it's not about collecting or a hobby, it's only the hand feel for me and does it keep me occupied
You’re doing a cracking job there!
Yes, I certainly find the act of spinning it more relaxing than any sort of spin time.
