Any fix for the Badman hinges?

[SublimeJhn]

Hello, so back in 2015 I purchased my Badmans, and I've been happy with them since. Now I have recently run into the dreaded broken hinge issue, even though I have babied these things from day 1. I was wondering if anyone has found a source for replacement hinges, or if anyone on here has any. I've taken the arms off a few times and it's an easy fix, if only the replacement hinges were available. Any help would be appreciated!

Have you checked with Oakley Warranty?
That is really the only fix from what I understand.

No, I suppose I can always check but I purchased the glasses in 2015 so the warranty is expired. I had a similar issue with my Hatchets years ago, and unless they have gotten better I know their response at the time was to offer a "discount" on a new pair. The discount of course being more than they could be easily found for online. So I'm not expecting much help from them

Yeah it sucks about those hinges. I think a few people here have repaired them. Maybe somebody will chime in who can do it. Other option might be sell them as parts to help with a new pair.

Best fix is to buy a Juliet or xx

Or sadly to say buy a new Badman for a decent price, they aren’t that expensive anymore

You'd think with all these people having issues with their glasses there would be more people parting them out. Yet there's nothing on eBay. I submitted a repair request to Oakley warranty, I'll see what they say but I'm guessing since I'm out of warranty they will want a small fortune if they agree to fix them at all

How close are you to a factory store?

What exactly falls under "factory store?" There's an Oakley Vault near me. I'm in the Phoenix AZ area if that helps

I think @jdd32 may be able to help. I know he was looking into making these but maybe he has some factory replacement parts?
