Can a Trompo Grande be converted into a Trompo Bearing?
« on: September 01, 2010, 04:02:01 AM »

Hello everyone,
I'm so glad I found these boards as I'm new to top spinning and trying to absorb as much information as possible. I have what may be a silly question: Can a fixed tip Trompo Grande be turned into a Trompo Bearing by switching out the tip assembly for the bearing tip from Spintastics? Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately they can not. There is no recess on the inside of the top for the second bearing to fit into.

It will be posible with a lathe. But you were lost a fantastic top for fix-tip play. And the new Trompo bearing spin very, very good.

I recomend you to buy a Trompo Bearing and enjoy twice.
