I love the ringing of a bearing almost as much as the ringing of titanium. ---

Why they couldn’t make it a 9 hour vid is beyond me 😆 Tbh I don’t like my bearings completely silent (finally got a yoyo tuned like that and it was way too hard to determine the speed of the spin), but I definitely hate loud bearings. ---

> [@Imdavid122](#): > > People geniunely use no lube in a bearing? > > Genuine Psychopaths Haha! Yes it does seem a bit crazy. However, it isn’t an absolute necessity because a yoyo bearing only has to deal with a very light load. ---

If you clean a bearing and run it dry they really aren’t that loud at all. And if they get loud, guess what? You can just clean them again. ---

I dont clean my bearings, I just lube them when they get loud. OCCASIONALLY i will run on under some water if its locked up or something/a steel plastic hybrid bearing, but thats it. [Previous page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/why-you-yes-you-should-lube-your-yo-yo-bearing/291865.md?page=2)
