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. > [@Plastic Peak CLYWxLuftverk](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/plastic-peak-clywxluftverk/369674/481): > > Sad to report #PleakGate has claimed another victim: me cry Missed a whip, bonked on vinyl floor & voila, baby.
