I'm curious about this as well. I have just had a couple of units tuned up by Oakley. One (polished frame) still has the right orbital loose, with the left tight as can be. The other pair(X metal) both sides are equal in flex, I have worn them for years. I was hoping that the tune up would have tightened them up better.
The one thing I was wondering about the material is whether it can be soldered. I was looking through the threads to find out about any possiblities. I was thinking that if the mount holes in the orbitals could have some material replaced and redrilled. It would help to tighten up the flex of the orbital. I have had some solder in the past that would adhere to any material. It would also get harder once it would set. Or even brazing it with some different type brazing rod material.
Qtrain23; Are the flex couplers made of the same unobtainium earsock material or something else?
