I was pretty stupid and decided to bring my flys with me to a friends and ended up playing on concrete and grinded on a tennis court, and now the axle sounds really, really bad.Does anyone know a way to ressurect a fly axle? Don't say WD-40, i already tried and it sounds even worse now.
The concrete or grinding on a tennis net won't hurt the axle. If its noisy its probably just run dry of grease. It'll still play fine like this only noisier than usual. You need to get some bearing grease (I find the red kind with teflon in it works best) or lithium grease. Just put a small amount in the bearings and all will be restored.
Will that 3 in one oil or WD40 work?
Wear can i find bearing grease? And how should i apply it?
But I like my bearings noisy.
I suppose if there is no negative impact on diabolo performance and only a slightly louder noise, there's no real reason to take huge measures onto fixing it, you can even use the noise as an indicator to how fast your diabolo is spinning; it usually gets louder as speed increases.
