Hi X-Metal enthusiasts,
Finally, we bring the replacement rubber for Oakley Romeo 2.0. This is the latest addition to our line of replacement rubber.
It is true that the selling price of R2 is a bit higher compare to our existing CRS - complete rubber set - for other frames. If you look at the component of R2 CRS, it has no part compatible to other frame CRS, and each part is unique and we can't use the mold from other frame and thus need spending money to create a new mold.
Although we can't disclose a real product development cost for business secret reason, the fund invested in creating the mold and product development cost, roughly it is a huge amount of money which we expect to recover at least within 2 years of good sale, or more.
It was a reluctant decision, but since we keep hearing the need of R2 rubber over two years and thus we decide to make it, to fulfill our customers' need.
We feel we should explain these to our customers/supporters, and we are looking forward to your patronage.
Sincerely,
Daisuke & Kimsan
