Title: rip cord to bearing king
Post by: popdada on August 23, 2010, 12:33:59 PM

I know there's some way to do this...I have a rip cord and a bearing king tip...seem to remember I need another bearing...? I have a few duncan yoyo's I can get one from...anyone know?

Yes, it works best with two bearings.  Most (all?) Duncan yo-yo's have the same size bearing as the BK.  The second bearing fits very, very snug.  The way I get mine in there is to use a nut, bolt, and a washer to squeeze the bearing in there.  Order from the tip side:  bolt, washer, rip cord, bearing, nut smaller than outer diameter of bearing.

It can be tough to get the fixed tip out.  You need a hole, or a pipe to hold the Rip Cord point down while you whack at it with some sort of blunt nail and hammer.  It is likely the o-ring will be ruined when you take it out, so there may be challenges to making it fixed tip again, should the need arise.
