They aren’t, and probably they can’t be removed withouth breaking the yoyo

Lol just another way of having an axle. Less friction faster throw? Less of a chance of damaging the Yoyo? I don’t know…

Use it! that’s what yoyos are for! as long as you use it maybe, over carpet, you should be fine.

Problem too. What about grass?

grass should be ok, but don’t use it over a part of your yard that has a ton of dirt, if you do use it over dirt, and accidentally hit it on the ground, you might get dirt in your bearing.

I feel like messing around with stuff when you’re bored is a good way to you throwing.

With side effects, you can change weight distribution (amount of rim vs Center weight). Also, if you manage to strip a side effect, no big deal. You can buy a new set for $12 (vs needing to retap a regular axle yoyo to a bigger size axle). You can also alter the look of the yoyo to suit your mood - there are many shapes & colors to choose from).

Does this include the bearing seat, if it gets ruined?

If a yoyo gets Stripped, it usually means the axle seat, and/or the axle got stripped of it’s threads, if you strip a yoyo, and the bearing seat is messed up, you nstripped it bad.
