Are shields on yoyo bearings important? The shield came off my fiesta, I’m guessing it’s no big deal because you have to de-shield it to clean it, but i’d like to know
keeps dirt and stuff out of the bearing, so, technically, yes. Important.
I see that but when you clean it you have to de-shield it and there’s no way to re-shield it.
to reshield it, you put the shield back on, put the c-clip on and you’re ready to go.
I would reshield it just because it an offstring yoyo and will hit the ground alot
Well crap. I lost the c clip. 
Its really not too important though yyj bearings arent very expenseive
