hey guys i just cleaned my wedgies bearing and i did what i was instructed and hey now its tug responsive

i cleaned it with some fresh mineral spirits blew it out
i did notice that it wouldnt spin when i blew air into it  but it did take all of the spirits off
put one poquito drop of thin lube on it  and then i found out about the tug responsive ness

any ideas on how to fix it?

Keep throwing it for a day or so and see what happens.  There shouldn't be a problem with cleaning a ceramic.   Afro

Your poquito drop of thin lube might have been too much, or something else could have gone wrong.

And didn't you just get the wedgie? Why were you cleaning it? Both of mine came super unresponsive.

Yah I just got it but it became noisey so I thought that I was going to lube it I might as well get all of the old lube out first

i doubt that.  i don't like loud bearings, so i play all my yo-yos thin lubed.  i usually add 2 large drops, and my yo-yos don't stay responsive for more than 30 mins, if that.  thin lube doesn't effect responsiveness that much at all.

i'm with the people who ask, why'd you even clean it.  if it was already unresponsive and making a lot of noise, it probably didn't have any lube in it in the first place.  plus you don't need to clean previous lube out to add more lube to a bearing.  i don't know why people love to clean bearings so much, like as if it will magically make them spin magnitudes longer.  just play with your yo-yos.

"In the old days, Kinopah used to use Ragu sauce for cleaning bearings with moderately successful results.  Someone later discovered that it was best to stay away from the 3 cheese as this seemed to slow the bearing down somewhat." - madcow
