Topic: New bearing - very tight fit: (Read 734 times)

The entre-trac bearing that came with my SPYY Addiction has, for reasons best known to itself, become responsive. I've replaced it with a spare centre-trac bearing I bought at the same time, but when I screw the yoyo together it feels a much tighter fit. Will this do anything to my yoyo?

Your yoyo is probably broken. Honestly though I'm sure it will be more than fine, I've had tries where the bearing came very tight, and after a while it loosened up.

is the bearing tight on the seat, or is it tight screwing it together?

I have found that SPYYs have very tight bearing seats. If the bearing's ID tolerance is even slightly off, you might have some issues with removing it. On one of my SPYYs, the bearing seat has been completely stripped of its anodizing because of bearing with somewhat sloppy tolerances.

Screwing it together is, probably should been more specific in my first post. |

Then check the threading on the axle and in the halves. It could still be the bearing seat, but if it's the threading on the axle you can just get a new one.

The threading is fine in both halves and on the axle. I take it that means it's the bearing seat then.

or the bearing. Do your other bearings work fine in it?

Yeah my other centre-trac fits in it fine, but it needs cleaning and I haven't had time to do it yet.

Center Tracs do tend to vary in their inner diameter. I too have had them range from no problem at all wiggling them off the bearing seat with my fingers to needing a jackhammer to get them off and destroying my bearing seat in the process (C3 Halo). That's just something that's inevitable at some point or another with using a Center Trac.

I see, thanks. Any other bearings out there that have better quality control and work in the same way and don't cost as much as a Konkave?

Onedrop Ten Ball, Crucial bearing v2, Terrapin X-Wing, YYJ Speed bearing and quite possibly several others. They way I look at it, it is worth it to pay the extra $5 for a KonKave as it may save the bearing seat of a $100 yoyo. |

The other thing to consider though is konkave bearings end up having consistently tight inner races, and I say consistently in italics to differentiate them from center tracs which end up being a toss-up. So in all actuality a konkave may not be the best solution for this particular case. If you want a centering bearing, a Crucial v2 might be your best bet.
