Cracked Pleak

Just a heads up on carrying a Plastic Peak, they seems to be a little weak around the hub. Had this with me a bit yesterday, mostly in my pocket for some time, I don’t even remember bumping into anything, so could have just been when I sat down and the fabric pulled taught, idk.

Still plays okay, but it is a bummer to see

Edit: I reached out to Jeff, and thanks for the anecdotes, a shame to hear it. Great throw tho overall

A lot of the Luftverk Plastics have been cracking out. They are YoyoJam inspired by the way

All the Luftverk plastics have the cracking issue, but the Pleak hubs especially because of the response groove needing to be deeper. I think Jeff said the second run (purple and clear) were modified a little bit to account for it, but I’m still not entirely sure what that means unless he redesigned the metal hub insert.

If you contact Jeffrey, he says he will replace them, no problem. Though, I contacted him about my plastic Fulvia and 000 cracking and he initially said he would get me replacements, then stopped answering my emails… :man_shrugging:t2:

Hmmm, well I guess I’ll see what happens. I knew the Fulvia because of @NuroVolt7 and 000 cracked because I have a broken one of those as well. I like the translucent ones, if I don’t hear from Jeff maybe I’ll try my luck again with one of those

Idk what he fixed because mine completely snapped off within a few months

I had a 000 crack in 2024 and Jeffrey replaced it. The new one hasn’t cracked. It was my understanding that the new ones were modified, but maybe it’s still an issue?

You’re referring to one of the purple/clearish ones from the second run, right?

I didn’t really like how vague the statement of “I fixed the issue was.” Because fixing the issue would involve redesigning the metal insert, redesigning the cup of the yoyo, or swapping to a slimmer response pad. Knowing what was actually changed (if anything lol) would go such a long way.

Yeah the clear purple was the one I bought. Started as a crack then completely snapped off. Wish I would’ve known he was willing to replace them. I liked it a lot
