Congrats bro.

Good choice. I think it was the better deal. Pics?

Congrats on the R2. You won't be disappointed in your decision.

Once the R2 comes in, get rid of the Welleva lenses and contact either @jdd32 or @salj838 to have them cut you some Oakley R2 lenses.

Salj838 custom cut lenses from Oakley Big Tacos (sorry @QLR1 )

Jdd32 custom cut lenses from Oakley XLJ's

Jdd32 can also supply you with some custom rubber (from Juliet rubber kits or Linegear) for them too. Also @Linegear Japan is getting ready to offer, this year, R2 rubber alongside the rest of their quality X-metal rubber kits.

Last I heard, LG was only prepping to offer R2 earstem rubber; R2 nosebombs and t-shox weren't in scope yet. Has that changed @Linegear Japan?

The nice LG guys seems firm that the earsock only for R2. We should insist to linegear more..... and more.... and more.

 

[Linegear Japan]

Yes, earsock only for R2 due to development cost. While nosepad we offer a suggesting using Penny nosepasd small size (**LINEGEAR** Oakley X-Metal custom replacement lenses, rubber parts & parts shop from Japan. ).

Doh!!!!

My mistake. Chalk it up to "wishful thinking".

I have a full complete rubber set that @jdd32 did for me out of Oakley rootbeer Juliet rubber. The frame they are made for is still being plated, but once complete will have them installed with detailed pics and report.

It looks great "as is" but waiting to see when the "rubber meets the frame"



You see...

The saying is....

"When the rubber meets the road"....

But I..... Never mind
