"Correcting" the Carbon Shift

[Kallision]

I absolutely love the Carbon Shift frame but my nagging issue is what many people here are well aware of. The lack of nose bombs or any form of unobtanium grip at the nose bridge. Has anyone thought to or attempted to correct this issue? I know it's risking a pair of frames, but it could make them fit and stay better if done properly. There are a couple ways I have thought it could be possible, but I'm not sure, and I would have to buy the equipment to modify as well. It definitely is unorthodox, but I was just curious.

You can add a small patch of helicopter tape on each side of the nose piece - it’s clear and slightly ‘spongy’ and adds loads of extra grip & won’t cause any damage

HAHAHA!! Fair enough. It kind of does sound like it. I had looked it up as well. It would be interesting to see nosebombs installed onto frames that don't have them though. I definitely think that some would truly benefit from it.

On the troll thing - I can't help but think that word is from gen Y.

I had only just heard it used for the first time in 2011. Its the product of the web post facebook. Of course facebook was invented by a pre pubescent spotty, snivvling liitle boy who had probably never cut his finger or bruised his knee - lol... Where's the snowflake emoji....??

Isn't a troll a fictional character who looks after a bridge and says stuff like - "Who there goes on my bridge"

Kind of from a nursery rhyme - lol
