Sooo yea its a little vibey. Id like to replace the screw that is in between the two halves. Does anyone know how I can find that exact one? Its probably a machine screw right? Should I just try to measure it and match it on amazon? thanks!
also has anyone started a service to fix a vibey throw yet? Like a place you mail it to and they fix it and send it back? I think ive seen maintenance for balisongs / butterfly knives. Id love to see that for yoyos.
You could sell the damaged one to a collector (not me) for hundreds of dollars; then buy a new working yoyo and pocket enough cash to cover your electric bill or something.
Otherwise, Iâm thinking contacting Onedrop directly. Email or instagram since the brand is active on IG. They can tell you what you need to make the repairs yourself.
i contacted one drop and believe it or not⌠they said i could send it in to them and they could tell me what was causing the vibe but there was likely nothing they could do about it. they told me not to change the axle because its glued in place and its likely not whats causing the issue.
honestly i think they just wanted to steal my yoyo
and i think changing the axle would probably decrease vibe as well
honestly who knows⌠ive had really bad luck within this community. i think theres a lot of childish people here. i dont know the guys at OD personally at all.

The OD guys run a legitimate business and have been around for almost 20 years, and also⌠made the yoyo⌠feels like a very out of pocket comment to make lol
With the markmont nut capture systems (atleast, the one on the markmont next, which I assume is very similar if not the same, I donât own a wooly markmont ), the axle is only loctited in one side, you can definitely remove it from both halves without damaging the brass pieces if youâre careful.
like i said i dont know anyone at OD personally. because of that I always air on the side of caution in the yoyo community because in my experience people here are capable of terrible things. the amount of vibey yoyos i have got from trades where they said it wasnt vibey⌠or some other undisclosed damage. also the immaturity on the forum is UNREAL. i think people here are beyond childish. it makes sense because its literally a community for TOYS
If they wanted a Wooly Markmont for themselves, Iâm sure they can just pick one out of their backstock. as @fradiger said, They made the throw. Itâs in the name that youâve got in the title. The âodâ in â(clyw/od wooly markmont)â is OD, One Drop, the people asking you to send it back to them.
They are a pretty popular company and arenât going to risk losing customer reputation by not sending you back your throw. If anything, if they canât fix it, you might get a new one.
Iâm genuinely confused what makes you be so cautious. Itâs a business. You donât need to âknowâ anyone, you have to trust that a business is going to continue to do things to guarantee more business.
Fwiw, BST is not the same as a (boutique) yoyo store (ie OD aka OneDrop). BST is, more often than not, regular people selling their throws for various reasons (ie too many, leaving the hobby, bills/adulting). That being said, if you have an issue, the best thing is to go back to the seller and talk to them about rather than complaining on an open forum. If things still donât go your way, you can always make a negative feedback if you feel itâs warranted. BST is basically a trade show, but online.
