Question About Romeo 1 Lens Cracking

[BriP]

I have had my romeos for about a month and i can tell that as long as you treat them the same way as you do to save flex couplers on the Juliet etc from being overstretched, you wont ever crack your lenses. its only because people dont put them on/off like goggles (slide over the top of the head), or are using incorrect t-shox (making them too tight, straining the frame and lens).

Herbsley also has 2 pairs with no trouble at all.

It all comes down to care.. the Romeo 1 is a great frame

So if you have a 35 pound Charlie Brown block head. Don't even think of trying them on........

just slice the #15 t-shox in half! haha totally would work. otherwise DG_mods makes small t-shox too

I think I may have to not use the t-shocks entirely. LOL

well how much does the Penny's arm hinges extend for you? we can judge head sizes that way.

They don't extend all the way but the do get pushed outward.

 

[BriP]

yeah, well mine also does push outward very slightly, and in the romeo1s in using #25 t-shox to make them fit well. I reckon if you had the Romeos with #15 t-shox you'll be fine. QUICK PICK A PAIR UP! hahaha

@Razerwire
please let us know how it works for you with the thicker polarized lenses . . .

Just a note, THICKER lenses will be WORSE. because the sharp metal points that touch the lenses will not have any movement before they touch the lens, which means even if you flex the frame a tiny bit the lens will be stressed. IMO using a slightly thinner lens allows the frame to flex slightly without touching the lens, meaning you wont have the lens under stress therefore no cracking
