What is going on?

Yo-Yo Mods and Maintenance

My yuuksta is acting crazy! I threw a trapeze, and the thing went wack and now I can not do anything because the cbc pad grew. I just put new cbc pads in and it grew. What is going on? My yuuksta snaps back to my hand when i throw a trapeze!

Also, i got a new 888x, and it is responsive. Should i lube it or clean the bearing right out of the box?
What do i do?

Yes, I’ve heard stories of CBC pads growing. Not sure why.

Anyways, try this to both of them:
Clean the bearing. This should be the most important solution literally.

The pads grow if they get wet or if excessive lube from the bearing gets on them. Basically, they act like a sponge and absorb moisture, even out of humid air.
