I am planning to get an Augusta, but I am kinda afraid of the durability of this top. Since the top is made out of delrin and aluminium, does the glue keep them together?
Do you guys know a place to get more protruded bearings and one way bearing spacers for strummol8 tops? I don't see those items on the site.

Although the cap can come out after a hard side fall, you can snap it right-back in, as Jim said.
The only S8 tops that have ever been reported broken are the STB 2.5 made with two glued delrin parts.

Re: Strummol8 questions
Thank you so much! I think that I will stick with Giulia.
Do you sell the metal spacers as well? I only see the bearings on strummol8 site.MrYo wrote:Hallo, the bearings are easy to find on web shops, they are the classic Duncan yoyo size and the owb is easy to find too.Neu wrote: I am planning to get an Augusta, but I am kinda afraid of the durability of this top.

Are the Dionisia and Augusta the same height? I'm guessing yes, but wanted to know for sure.

Thanks Maurizio, I appreciate the confirmation.
Are the tips in the Alice unique to Alice, or are they interchangeable with the rest of the S8 models?

Alice is fixed tip only, is made to be cheap as entry level top. Is not possible to change it.
