Terrapin X bearings on YYE

[Totalartist]

Okay FJH, hopefully some of those who bought the bearings this week will chime in for us about what they think of them. In the meantime, you must restock at YYE, so you can sell more of them. I placed an order with YYE today, but you were all sold out of the wing cut bearings, so I will try one later.

Hurry, restock at once!

Keep sending those bearings… I need 2 more.

Contacted André. We will see…
I have them…

I definitely was not whining, I was stating the fact that I was less than satisfied by the quality of these bearings due to the fact that they became gritty and unpleasant after a short time, but alas, I do not care to seek reimbursement, return business, or replacement. Some people like them, but I did not have a great experience. My views are my own and do not necessarily mirror those of anyone else.

TX S/C bearings arrive totally unresponsive, I test every one.
However the ceramic balls take a bit of play to properly bed in.
Ceramic, being harder then steel, will smooth out the steel races in a few hours of play,
possibly leaving some debris.
Simply clean with acetone and it will be fine…That’s it…

There are two main advantages in ceramic balls. The big one being that you don’t have to take care of them as much. They are smoother and ceramic is very heat resistant which helps so that they don’t warp. The second being is that you get better spin times due to the pores in ceramic. Less surface area= less friction which in turn means that it will spin longer. Not too much, but some.

Heat resistance really is not an advantage for the speed yoyos run at. In any event the race is what would tend to warp from any heating issues, and it is steel.

Less surface area? How so?

Have you ever seen a microscopic/heavily zoomed image of a ceramic? The surface is rather rough, as compared to the metal balls of a bearing, which comparatively speaking, appear rather smooth.

Can I have it then? Lol
