From zgrt.ca:
"This is the second edition of Zero Gravity's El MIJo released in May 2022 and made out of 6061 aluminum. The El MIJo was our first yo-yo under the slim-line category. It debuted in December 2021 and made out of 7075 aluminum. The El MIJo 7075 model was met with great success and acceptance by the yo-yo community. This time, we wanted to maintain the original shape and dimensions of El MIJo and just make it three grams lighter with 6061 aluminum.
The use of a less dense aluminum not only brings the weight down by three grams, but also slightly moves the weight toward the center, increasing the RPM, theoretically.
Recipe
• Diameter: 56.1mm
• Weight: ~55.2 gm
• Width: 30mm - 32mm (varies depending on bearing thickness)
• Gap: 2.38mm - 4.4mm
• Response: ZGRT custom silicone pads, yellow
• Material: 6061 aluminum
Included the following:
• Flat unresponsive D bearing - 5 mm wide
• Flat responsive D bearing - 4 mm wide
• Flat D bearing - 3 mm wide
• Zero Gravity blank d-bearing design.
• Size D bearing remover
We are adding an extra layer of playability by including an extra D-bearing of 4 mm wide. Similarly like the El MIJo 7075 version, El MIJo 6061 comes with an 8 mm axle that you can use with all configurations. However, we included a 10 mm axle to use with the 5 mm wide bearing to ensure a good connection between the two body halves."

"Zero Gravity Return Tops - El MIJo 6061
This model is equipped with size D bearings, which is rare for a classic type metal yo-yo.
The classic type metal yo-yo that combines the performance of metal with the size and feel of old-fashioned yo-yos, and fuses modern technology with an old-fashioned feel. This yo-yo is one of them, but it is a model with size D bearings, which is very rare among them.
The size D bearing is almost as thick as a standard size C bearing, but has a smaller diameter, which is said to give it superior rotational force. Although it regrettably does not have the largest share of the market due to the feel of the slip, the market share rate and the prevalence of parts, its ability is recognized by many players who have actually touched it. The new model comes with a number of bearings to let you fully enjoy the appeal of the Size D standard.
• Size D bearing, 5 mm thick (installed out-of-the-box)
• Size D bearings - 4 mm thick
• Size D bearings - 3 mm thick
• Size D fixed bearing blank, Zero Gravity-branded
• Size D bearing remover
• M4 x 10 mm axle (installed out-of-the-box)
• M4 x 8 mm axle
As described above, three types of bearings are available to adjust the gap. Furthermore, it is a common specification that it is even possible to make a fixed shaft.
The bearings may be dull, but this is a product specification.
Please be sure to read this before customizing.
The yo-yo came with two different axles and four bearing types. The axle size determined which bearing you could use.
Installed out-of-the-box
