Today I was screwing around with the bearing of my dragonfly and the ball bearings scattered all over the floor! \>:( So, have YOU ruined a bearing? ---

Kinda when trying to take the bearing out of my Hectic SB I chipped the bearing but it still plays great! PS You could fix it by using some sand paper just get some fine grit and it should be as good as new. ---
