If you mean the outside, yes. For some reason lots of them seem to rust on the outside, but they’re fine on the inside and play just fine. (Usually of course.) ---

I don’t like YYJ stock bearings that much. They just need lube sometimes, or a good cleaning… Anyways, I don’t why the heck they would be rusted, but as Batryn said, contact Andre. The inside is probably fine, as Apetrunk said. Have you gotten it wet or anything? ---

You guys suck at maintaining your bearings 😛 I have many YYJ bearings. Not one has rusted on me. I love all of them, they are smooth, long spinning, and sooo good. ---

Haha thanks Samad. It’s nice to know you care. 😛 Yeah, I’ve had one or two rust on me but, eh, whatever. They still play great. ---

My DM’s bearing is really dark colored(as in charcoal dark), but doesn’t seem to have any changes in play. I guess it’s the same for rust. I say if it’s not broken, don’t fix it. ---

YYJ are smooth but the outside of the bearing oxidizes fast. 😛 ---

Two questions and I’ll be done. 1. does it effect your play? 2. why do you care what the bearing looks like? If it works don’t fix it! I think all of my steel large bearings look like that. I play em all and they work fine. I have some that are probably a few years old and are still spinning just fine. I actually love the stock YYJ bearing. If its not good enough for you then you aren’t good enough. ---
