Diabolo - The Juggling Spinning Chinese YoYo Toy

What is a diabolo? The diabolo, which is sometimes mispelled as "diablo" and in the past was called "The Devil On Two Sticks" and now also known as the Chinese Yo-Yo is a juggling toy. It consists of a spool-like shaped object that is spun and tossed on a string which is tied to two sticks held one in each hand.

Many tricks can be performed by using the sticks, string and also body parts. One, two, three and even four diabolos have been performed on a single string.

There are different shapes and sizes.  In the past, the diabolo was more of a 2 wheeled shaped with a rod connecting the 2 wheels as found in Asia. Some also make a whistling sound when spun. In more recent years, the diabolo has transformed into a more cup shaped object on the ends with a shorter axle between them.

The smaller or lighter the diabolo, the easier it is to throw higher and easier to accelerate.  The bigger or heavier the diabolo, the better to retain its momentum.

In the past, diabolos were made of wood where nowadays, the are made of different synthetic materials such as plastic and rubber.  Some plastic compound diabolos are stiff while some others are made more flexible.  Rubber diabolos are flexible and more likely to last longer.

The new diabolo era as we see it has innovated the diabolo to having one-way single bearing axles and now a one-way  triple bearing axle. The one-way axle system was patented by the Taiwan based diabolo manufacturer, Sundia. They have been developing and updating the diabolo to new heights on a consistent basis.  Sundia Diabolos have reached a worldwide market.

Sundia have also produced the one-way bearing monobolo.  The monobolo is a one-sided diabolo with a counter weight tip on the other side.  The monobolo can be spun and tossed as a diabolo and can be spun vertically as a spinning top on the ground.

what is the front axle in my 97 jeep grand cherokee zj?

the rear, i think is a dana 35, because it has a rubber plug.(if this is wrong, let me know) how do i know what the fron axle is?

The front is a dana 30, as for the backit could be a 35 or a 44, the best way to find out is to get under it and look around the back side of the diff around the edge it will be stamped on it. and the dana 35 is more of a round cover, the 44 is more like a stop sign shape kind of looks like a D shape. hope that helps you.
