i searched, but you cant search for 3 letter words. sorry if theres already a thread, but how can you tell the difference?
 
i think the words read around the wheel so when you spin the wheel you should see yak rwritten twice right side up but with new ones they are written straight so if you read yak and spin it the other word will be upside down, this prolly doesnt make sense at all someone will show you pics and you can tell the difference

He means if you look at the wheel, both "YAK"'s are readable. And if he's right, the old ones you'd have to spin it 180 degrees to read the other one.
But I know the old ones have a little character on em where it says the hardness

yeah, like if the text on the wheel that says YAK faces the same direction its new

New:
yak

Old:

looks old to me...

But I always thought that on the old yaks, the word "yak" is spread across more of the wheel

you guys are dumb, that 125 pic that was posted is OLD. the new ones have the stupid black horns on each side.
 
^Lol,
OLD yaks have the yak written uside down and the write way up and they have the little YAK heads with the size and hardness written in between them on either side, NEW yak wheels have yak written the right way on the top and bottom and have the horns on each side with the size and hardness written in them.
