I was able to snatch one up on the pre-order, and I agree 100% that it is at an amazing price point. On top of that as Beherenow said, it comes with the $25 retail price VIP ceramic hybrid bearing. As an owner of multiple VIP bearings I can assure you that they definitely hold up to their name.

Thatâs an incredible deal! Man, itâs already the price of a budget bimetal but yet it still comes with a $25 dollars ceramic bearing? Thatâs just insanity! The yoyo is just $35!

So this new Civility is my first experience with the ceramic VIP bearing. It is a bit on the noisy side right out of the box. Is this normal? Should I add lube?
Donât add lube, play dry. hybrid bearings are noisy. Only option is to get use to it or use something else

A spot of lube isnât a bad thing. If itâs noisy out of tge gate? There may be some dust or a piece of cardboard in it. Try cleaning it with some lighter fluid or mineral spirits and a pinprick of your favorite Thin Lube and you should be cool.
If tgat doesnât quiet it down, you may have a ball in there thatâs uneven. Either way, itâll get settled. Happy Throwing.

Ceramicâs Iâve used, even full, took some break-in. Dry. Not sure how porous ceramic is? Sometimes Iâll clean a bearing (steel), over lube it on purpose, then clean again. Thatâs helped some.

Iâve noticed that the konkave bearings in higher-end Duncans get quieter the more you play them. Maybe this will be the same sort of thing.

As an aside, I find it odd and kinda annoying that they call this yoyo simply the Civility, rather than something sensible like Bi-metal Civility. I guess we have to adopt ad hoc nicknames like âoriginal Civilityâ and ânew Civilityâ in order to avoid ambiguity, but even thatâs less than ideal because for people who donât know the difference, ânew Civilityâ will require further elaboration. Clear, unambiguous product names should not be left up to consumers to come up with on their own.

How are you liking the civility so far ?
Now that Iâve installed a bearing and string that I like, it is pretty great. Powerful and stable and very comfortable in the hand. If I were to change anything about it I would shave a tiny bit of weight off it (but only a tiny bit). I am also tempted to put in slightly grippier response pads, but thatâs only because I have a thing for tight, snappy binds (ala most One Drop throws) and this yoyo binds ânormallyâ, if that makes any sense.

I always throw around a new yo-yo with the stock bearing at first⌠I donât care if it is silent or screaming at me. I donât hesitate to put a drop of lube in a new bearing just to keep it from eating itself alive before it breaks in.
Remember, a New bearing is âNewâ. The Factory doesnât spend hours pre-spinning them for you.
Bearings are made from parts and pieces that in certain instances may not get along with each other as well as you would like. You ever go,out on a first date with somebody and it doesnât start out well? It by the end of the evening, you are having a Great time? You just have to participate in making things happen/
A New bearing may need your participation to help it through that â1st dateâ. You canât always blame the problem on the bearing before you try to be part of the solution.
Some bearings need a break in period, is all. And there is no specific amount of time. It can vary.
Throw it the way they sent it. Break it in or burn it up. Be stubborn, e patient and âThrow That sucker aroundâ.
It may smooth outâŚâŚ. And it may not smooth out. Make the effort and find out.
I have had many experiences where I was patient with a bearingâŚâŚ and didnât even notice all of a sudden it wasnât misbehaving, lol.
Sometimes the stars align and your efforts are rewarded. Get your monies worth and Rock that new bearing.
You can Always change it outâŚ.
And not be happy laterâŚ

Definitely the case for pixel bearings.
Is that so? I have a pixel bearing and it was waaaack, I changed it instantly. I will try to break it in. I know ceramic need to be broken in.
I got a full ceramic bearing and it was my worst bearing at the start. Spend about 2 hours throwing sleeprs, and now its my best bearing. It just doesnât stop
