cleaning or lubing>/?

so do i have to clean my bearing like in a solvent or can i just lube it …

Soak in Mineral Spirits or Lighter Fluid.

Then lube.

Clean your bearing. Then lube with a needle head size of lube: http://yoyoexpert.com/forums/index.php?topic=871.msg%msg_id%

It really depends on the end result you’re looking for.

  • If you want it unreponsive, then clean first and lightly lube.
  • If you want it responsive, just lube it.

Doesn’t lightly lube count as lube?

Yes, obviously. But one is lightly lubing, the other is normal lube. Two different outcomes. Try to keep up, kid.

Should I launder my clothes, or just spray Febreeze all over it?

Febreeze, all the way. Or just walk through sprinklers fully clothed.
