Messed up bearing seat? Avalanche
« on: October 07, 2011, 04:52:52 PM »

Hi Cheesy

So I recently got an Avalanche in a trade and yayyyyy. we all love avalanches, right?
anyways, it has an intense wobble and vibe to it. nothing is wrong with the axle, bearing, or the response. I spent an hour switching different ones back and forth and testing it and the axle is not stripped or anything (or so I think...)

one of the bearing seats (I believe) is messed up though. I examined the yoyo together and saw that the two halves were not even. so i took them apart and laid them on the table and saw that they didn't align. so I filed down the bearing seat a little and now they're both symmetrical.

but it doesn't work.

so i'm thinking that the inner bearing seat is bent or somehow moved, but I'm not sure how you can fix it. does anyone know how to? the vibing makes a humming noise that bothers the heck outta me!

thanks for reading Smiley

Not much you can do.  Try teflon tape.  Some of my yoyos are perfectly fine but still vibe.  A hub replacement can fix it.

I don't think RiceRocket is modding anymore.  Kyo is the best choice but his prices are high.  Icthus can too, but he still might be closed due to too much work.  Maybe PrototypeGuy can also mod it.  Jeffrey Pang is also a good choice.

Landon might be able to do something less drastic with it. I'm thinking spacers. 20-30$, probably be smooth as hell afterwards.

**or I'm sure the other modders mentioned could as well, if you have a preference.
