Thread: Need A Fix For My Velocity...

ok last night I was playing with my Velocity and I took both halves apart cuz the string got stuck... So I put it back together and when I started to put it back together I heard a nast grinding noise. I took the halves back apart to find this......





Thanks,

It is hard to see from your pics what the problem is.
What type of camera are you using?
Do you have paint or some other type of picture software that you could use to crop the picture?

My camera doesn't take great pics up close so what I do is set the camera to take the best resolution it can then make sure the picture is in focus even if the subject of the picture seems small in the frame. When you get the image on your computer you can use programs like paint to crop out all the stuff you don't want OR you can select the area you do want and paste it into a blank image file. That way you get in focus images of just the stuff you want to see.

HTH

If your camera has a macro setting, use that for closeups work.
Can you describe it, along w/the pic?

Yes the bushing that is originally supposed to be in each half came out and is in the bearing. I got it off before but it just goes back to sticking to the bearing. The only camera I have is the one on my DSI and that is terrible as u can see from the pic.... The bearing centerer from one half is on the bearing and not in the half. It keeps going back to that... HELP
Click the last pic to see a larger version... The thing on top of the bearing it is stuck... it just doesn't work right together.

Take a small screw drive and see if you can get it off. Then see if there's crud or something binding it. The bearing to seat fit on those is real tight. If you can get it back on straight you should be ok.

I'm missing something here. What is stopping you from just putting it back together? The spacer is locked on to the bearing, so what? Those spacers look alot like PGM spacers. If they're anything similar, they were designed to do that.

Ohh I see the problem, the yoyo isn't screwed together.

Seriously though spacers get stuck in bearings all the time it's not really anything to worry about. If you do manage to take them out for a second time they'll probably just get stuck again. I say screw it together and have fun.

Remember the fast 201?

Velocity spacers are supposed to be like that. To get them apart, wedge your teeth in between the gap and bite down, that's what I did.

I'll bet your dentist would like you to buy more of them.
