I recently gt a Jet Set EC for Hanukah and I just love how it plays. When I got it it was completely smooth and had no problems. Recently during play one of the green hubs popped off. I easily screwed it back in. A little later the other side popped off a hub. Even when I screw it in and tighten it they just keep on popping off and unscrewing during play. I’m afraid to use it because I’m scared that they will unscrew and I will lose them. Please help. Also if anyone knows how to contact yoyocommunity please message me. There email they have on their site doesn’t seem to work. ---

Whenever I have a problem with something unscrewing during yo-yo play, loctite is usually a good candidate for the solution. Check it out and see if that would help. ---

Yes, a small drop should be sufficient. Super glue is actually not all that strong on metal as it doesn’t penetrate the surface. ---

Do I put it on the thread of the hub or on the plastic where the hub screws onto ---

Just tried it and it worked like a charm. I put a small drop of the super glue on a piece of paper then pressed the hub onto the dot just enough to get some glue on the outside of it. Then i screwed the hub in and pressed on it for a minute. After that i took a pin and scraped around the hub to get the excess glue off. Now its as smooth as when i irst got it and the hubs stay on! Thanks guys
