Creaking at minute 1.0 FMJ Platinum / Gold Iridium

[Giovanni27]

Hi, how is everyone?
I have a question. I know it's an older model, but is it normal for this colorway to make so much creaking noise? In the video, there's an XX Twenty that doesn't make a sound. Does anyone out there have the same color?

Have a good day.

If you have an older frame with an arm that's actually still tight, I think that's great. You're lucky it's not floppy loose.

Aloha and welcome to the O-Forum.

Sounds to me like the lenses might be slightly popping out of the channel when you’re bending the frame. Can you tell where the creaking is coming from?

I Second this, make sure the lenses are all the way in OP.

I had a pair of metal frames (non oakley) and can confirm it was lenses popping out given lack of flexibility vs plastic! Temperature played a big role
