Hi to everyone I get YYR Savage. It is amazing. I play with it for a few day, today I put in my pocket (I wear very small tight jeans so it was super squeezed in for 10min) when I run inside to use restroom. I yoyo again and now it has quite some vibe. The yoyo never been ding or dropped, so no idea what happen. I assume it something dumb with the complicated ring being squish in my pocket against my leg bone or something. I do not know! It smooth, I go inside 5 minute, come back out and vibes. I will ask my brother to design me 3d print file of a jig I can use to press the metal and plastic rim back into place, but I ask this: do the metal press fit from the outside in, or the inside out. I hope this isn’t complicated I do not how to explain. Is the bi-metal part press from the outside cup side, or the inner gap side. Hope this makes sense. Thanks, any tip for fixing YYR tri-material vibe i appreciate. ![tofix](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/0/c/0/0c054ffdf8dda6af936e2693418504dd623f1608.gif) edit: turn out bearing post nuked itself when I unscrewed it. more information later in thread. thank you for help everyone ---

Take it apart and step on each half on soft carpet. I did this with a Hypercut that came with a terrible pulse vibe and had success. ---

I did this with a hybrid, it fixed a pulse vibe as well. I don’t know which way your rims are installed tho. Sorry to hear this happened. ---

You might be able to tune it by playing around with the axle orientation. ---

It’s most likely not the rims that were shifted out of place, instead it’s more likely to be damage to the bearing seat. Yo-yos are held together by an axle, with the bearing sandwiched between the halves. In order for the bearing to spin, it needs to be seated on a “spacer”. This spacer is fairly small, and any weight that is put onto the yo-yo, is put right on that spacer. In this case, the weight came from the compression from being put in your pocket. With aluminum being a pretty soft material, the inner race of the bearing seat will grind into the spacer, and cause the bearing to be seated unevenly, leading to vibe. I would try a bearing with a thicker inner race, such as a One Drop 10 ball, and see if that makes a difference. Edit: No, this is not a manufacturing issue. Wide yo-yos are just not meant to be put into your pocket, especially if you wear tighter fitting pants. Aluminum is soft and it does not take much force to deform. ---

This kind of stuff is why I’m done with expensive yoyos. Literally no way this thing is more than three times better than your average 50 dollar yoyo and this kind of stuff happens? Ripoff. ---

Hi. Stupid question here: Is the vibe even that bad? Will it stop you from landing your tricks? ---

Thanks for your answer. I understand. Then it’s probably not worth having it at all. Can you return it? ---

> [@kawaii.kaede](#): > > i have 10 year of yoyo being in pocket and i have never ruined aluminum with that. I am under 100lb girl with yoyo in stretch jean pocket, not 300lb man that sit on yoyo. i would have bruise long before 7075 aluminum yoyo seat get dent or deformity Not that it matters that much in the end, you’d be surprised how little it takes for the bearing to damage the bearing seat. From the picture of the bearing seat, I can see how one side of where the bearing sits is clearly worn in more, caused by uneven pressure. If you’d like, you can send it to me, and I’ll smooth out the surface on my lathe, if it doesn’t solve the vibe, I’ll send it back and won’t charge a dime. If it works, it’ll just be a $20 repair. ---

I did something similar with a buddy from clubs YoYo’s but my experience and tools are way more limited and the YoYo still had some vibe in the end but was more than playable. I imagine you could do magic with it ---
