The red one seems like it eats string; I probably have to replace it. Anyone have other recs for fixed loopers? I figure probably ProYos or Hurricanes? ---

It looks like the Tornado is the bearing version of the Hurricane. I have the Manta Ray and it’s awesome, but the shape is not what I prefer for looping. ---

I am thrilled to now post my RBC in this thread as I have settled on a fixie setup that I love (bearing blank - 2.8mm gap) and have been throwing it non-stop for 2 weeks! :heart: Happy Holidays y’all! 🎄 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/e/a/aea9631bc73042d37e4f7e9d0bd623d48fc0c84d.jpeg) ---

I have yet to try the fixed axle setup for my RBC. I don’t know how to take out the mini bearing without Damaging the yo-yo 😅 ---

I took a 3mm wide mr85 bearing, took the shields off and cleaned it. Then filled it with weldbond glue. Worked perfectly, so smooth, the response is great. ---

You can use a 5mm drill bit as a bearing tool. But I just gently wiggled it out with some small pliers and there was no damage. ---

Interesting, I have an extra bearing. Maybe I’ll give that a try, but it just hurts a little inside to do that to a good m85 bearing 😆 [Previous page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/fixed-axle-friday-throws/294546.md?page=135) [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/fixed-axle-friday-throws/294546.md?page=137)
