I don’t know how best to reach Doc and I’m not sure if he’s still on vacation. I’ve got one of the new blue weekenders that may have a tolerance issue - it flew apart during my first session with it. I tightened it right before playing.
The axle came unattached from both sides! (why I think there’s a tolerance problem, because this is highly unusual in my experience) during play and is now hopelessly lost in a shag carpet.
Does anyone know the specs or where I can find a replacement? It doesn’t seem to be a standard sized axle. Currently just super bummed and a little frustrated.
On his website it has the axle size listed on the Weekender page. I ordered the size listed and it was actually a little short. I had to order the next size up. I have extras.
@Mrnovember410 I have the axle you need. Doc’s website calls for #6-32 X 5/16”
If you use that size it doesn’t engage all of the threads in the yo-yo. As seen in this pic from Doc’s webpage. I found that #6-32 X 3/8” engages all of the threads in both halves and greatly reduces the possibility of stripping. The second pic is of my Weekender with the 3/8” set screw. Both sides engage all the way to the end.
Oh man, this is exactly the kind of hard earned experientially learned info I was hoping someone here could share! Thank you so much, that’s a really keen observation. I’ve ordered a pack!
blond moment lol. Thank you to who pointed that out!
