I sent Y0Y02R2PR0 3 bearings to treat, a barely spinning, gritty spec, a responsive spec x, and a normal spec. After receiving them, I am greatly impressed! The bearings are smooth, quiet, and completely unresponsive. I highly recommend sending a few bearings to him to get treated, you won’t be disappointed. If you have any questions regarding how the bearings play, feel free to ask.
Not really sure What he used, he said that he cleaned it normal, then used a dry coating. I asked if it was terrapin dry lube and he said no. I have terrapin dry lubed bearings and these play much quieter than the terrapin dry lubed bearings.
its a home made type solution that uses a dry agent, viscosity lubricant and a secret ingredient. I made it after noticing all my yoyos at one time or another start to make noise. Before the bearing gets coated it gets a intense washing through multiple solvents and finally after it gets lubed goes to a dremel until playing fast and silent and unresponsive.
I don’t do it on the dremel. I put it on a spare side effect I have and hold it in then steadily spin it from low to high speed till it plays and sounds the way I like it. I used to put it directly on the dremel but sometimes the bearing would fly if it wasn’t secure enough. From what experience I have haven’t had problems with my current method 17 out of 20 bearings improved in playability the three that didn’t improve were either rusted or beyond repair.
I don’t do it at a high high speed its about or lower than a yoyos rotation. If the dremel is a big deal breaker I’ll just break them in naturally through play may take longer though.
I just like to say I really like the treated bearing he sent me. I’m not sure what his process is but whatever it is it working. I have been using one of his bearing and its great. It really quiet and smooth. Might take a while before it get loud again.
