Help...........Should I Pull The Trigger?

[ucdavis4PT0gpa]

Depends. If you take care of them the flex coupler shouldn't loosen that much but if you're pretty rough with them they can loosen. It's fixable though. Just have to send them in to Oakley for a tune up but it does cost $70+/-.

I've had mine for 7 years and while the flex coupler moves it's not nearly as bad as some that I've seen where the frame can pretty much be pretzeled.

Showing care with the piece, especially if worn in a rotation, can lead to coupler life in excess of 10 years...but you never can tell buying used. I have yet to purchase a used pair where the loose-ness was a) described correctly and b) little enough to warrant NOT sending them in.

I've been lucky. The Penny and two XXs I got preowned had no looseness in the flex coupler at all.

Same with me. My first pair of juliets i bought back in 99-00 are still as tight as when i first bought them.

Very nice add man! If those are first gen plasma/fires I got the same thing, but no awesome box like yours

 

[jester]

Mmmmm plasma eh? How much shiner are the polished frames or is it the arms that get it away.

The coin reads 1999, The box is sweet would it have come with, or it strictly an add on.

First pair so still a noob

Oh hmm does yours have a serial number on the inside of the arm?
