Search this on ebay “bearing 5x10x4 ceramic” That was the only size I could find. ---

I live in Hong Kong and I noticed that China got 6x13x5 which is the nearest size (size C) I can get. ---

Full ceramic bearings are primarily used in highly corrosive or sanitary applications. By the nature of ceramics they are costly to manufacture. For about $50 you don’t get a very good one for yoyoing purposes, more like $120. They are very brittle and shatter easily if you drop them or have a poor fitting bearing seat and have to pry them off. You can get them in any size, yoyo or other, and any configuration. If you search using A,C or D as a size it will just find yoyo sites, use the actual dimensions. ---

Yes, unless you are yoyoing in a vat of acid, or the core of the sun, you probably don’t need full ceramic. ---
