Yeah, probaly. Depends on whether the bearing is broken in and whether the gap is tightened or not. Im not sure. ---

You need lube, gap and broken in bearing. Im pretty sure it will be unresponsive if you just use lube. My speeder is unresponsive with a o ring. so it should be fine ---

As long it has a well broken in bearing, it will most likely be unresponsive either way. ---

yeah, all yyj’s (Butterfly shaped)are unresponsive when their bearings are broken in. Even if they have rubber o-rings, they will still play unresponsive.
