Can You Fix This?

And putting new inserts in does not fix the crack issue.

@jhb8426

The cracking issue w/YYJ has been around a long time. It’s primarily due to unequal expansion and contraction of the metal rims and the plastic body. The metal rims constrain the plastic shell causing stresses to build in the shell. Stresses cause cracks. It doesn’t happen in all cases. I have quite a few metal rimmed YYJs. Some have cracks, some don’t. It has nothing to do with tightening. Overtightening just loosens the metal insert the axle screws into.

I don’t think I ever said it did… The nipple of the yoyo cracking doesn’t only happen on metal rimmed YYJs, it also has happened to me on Kicksides, from screwing the axle in too deep.

Actually on legacy YYJs at least, it’s very difficult to run the axle screw through the end of the insert. It takes a concerted effort.
