So I got my brand new Yeti in the mail today

And it’s responsive

I can’t figure out why it’s responsive and I’ve had it for a good 10 minutes now

Help?

(In a king like voice) I declare that this bearing shall be sentenced to a soak in acetone. Then a brutal spinning on a pencil tip. Due to the fact that this is a terrible crime he will also suffer throw an couple of blows via compressed air. That will teach him a lesson.

You should especially read the yeti product description…

Please note:

- Your Yeti might be responsive for a little at the start, since CTX Bearings come pre-lubed. This makes for a smooth long lasting bearing. So Your Yeti might be responsive at the start. No worries though, it doesn’t take long to break it in. We’ve chosen these bearings because we believe that the break in period is easily worth the quality and performance.

Keep playing it longer. CLYW says they ship it lubed(I’m sure lightly). Come back after you’ve broken it in for another couple of hours.

From clyw.ca:

The bearing spacers on the Yeti fit tight, which is important to get it tuned right, but nevertheless it makes it hard to take apart and so we have included a free set of spacers in each box.

No worries though, it doesn’t take long to break it in. We’ve chosen these bearings because we believe that the break in period is easily worth the quality and performance.
- Each Yeti was hand tested before it goes in the box to ensure that it meets our standards of play and vibration tolerance. Some vibration is permissible during our testing process, but we have tuned each to ensure that this level of vibration is at a minimum.

Because we want to help people. Even if the people are too lazy to search, read disclosures/disclaimers/warnings, or otherwise can’t be bothered to make an effort, there are those of us who do make that effort.

I read the CLYW site and they said that the center trac is pre lubed so either clean the bearing or just play with it and let the lube break in.

CTX bearings come pre-lubed in all CLYW’s so they will be responsive until you break it in
