Plenty of string. Do you have any lube? Maybe a spare bearing since you live in Croatia? That’s about all I can think of.

You also might want to get some shims for it. The shims are really inexpensive.

You will not need another oring. they last basicaly forever. String, lube, shims, and possibly a bearing. Shims are little discs that you put behind the bearing. They make the gap bigger. These are shims: [YYJ Shims – YoYoExpert](http://shop.yoyoexpert.com/product/57/YYJ-Shims)

Yeah I agree with everybody else. Shims ROCK. I have one Red Shim in my Dark Magic and it plays like a charm :wink:
