Wait soā€¦ is Burts bees chapstick suppose to help with response or spintime? Iā€™m having a hell of a time getting a fixie to respond like I want it toā€¦ it either is too responsive and anytime it hits any string layer it responds or, it just wonā€™t respond at all unless the string tension is super tight. Then I canā€™t hit anything other than stalls. Oh and my tmbr came apart on meā€¦ ![20220129_013552](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/8/4/7/8477434bfed908476f1d34dc8cb2d7a50084694b.jpeg) ---

Chapstick helps with response more than spin time, also wrap the threads of that tmbr axle in ptfe plumbing tape and it wonā€™t come apart on you ---

Iā€™ve been curious about wraping the threads with PTFE tape since I always see you mention it, but Iā€™ve been a bit curious about some aspects of it. Do you have difficulty unscrewing the yoyo after wrapping the axle? Have you noticed the wood threading on the yoyo halves warping or kind of stripping from the stress of needing to be threaded by a bigger object once the tape is added? I know PTFE tape is recommended sometimes for stripped metal yoyos, but I worry that with wood being a softer material it might be more susceptible to stripping when screwing in an axle wrapped in tape. These might just be ignorant concerns that are non-issues. But if these arenā€™t things I have to be concerned about then it definitely seems nice, Iā€™ve gotten to a point where my TMBR responds very well, but I still have to check the yoyo from time to time to make sure it isnā€™t unscrewing on me. ---

The tape is super thin, I find that once screwed in if I loosen one of the caps I can unscrew that side without the other coming loose, no warping or negative effects that Iā€™ve seen on any of the wooden yo-yos Iā€™ve tried it on ---

Hereā€™s a trick for Fixed Axle Friday. Who else has sworn off bearings for the month? I figured this month would be a good time to focus on practicing fixie stuff I rarely do. Throwing 1A tricks on a fixie takes so much finesse, it feels like itā€™s keeping me honest lol. [https://www.instagram.com/p/CZjtJTWlgFv/](https://www.instagram.com/p/CZjtJTWlgFv/) ---
