Green Juliet Rubber

[cheekymeister]

How does the colour of linegear olive drab rubber compare to the oem green rubber used on the ichiro? Looking for the best match for a pair of Juliets with emerald... thanks all

pretty good but the ichiro rubbers have a sheen to them that the linegear doesnt. color-wise they are close. also emerald slate is lighter than emerald. i dont have access to mine right now but can get pictures later.

Great thanks - that would be really helpful

IMO, they are very similar in color, but OEM is still better quality and more durable. I have Ichiro on my plasma/emerald Juliet

Wow - they look great. Issue is whether I can find an OEM set....

Can't speak to how different it is from the OEM but I can tell you that the Linegear Olive is absolutely awesome. I love that colour and it totally rocks on a pair of emerald X-Metals. Really great quality.

Hope these help. I have standard emerald in the xmetal pair and emerald slate in the polished Ichiro pair, linegear uninstalled and the og Ichiro green on the beater pair. I want to say my mint pairs have a lighter rubber...

Ok just checked, mint pair on the left, linegear loose, beater on the right.

Mint on left, beater on right both oem.

Wear pair or display pair?

If wear = Linegear
If display...

I wear the hell out of my Linegear rubbers for all my X Metals and they are great.

Definitely wear pair - I wear all of my collection . I must admit leaning towards OEM although I do have a set of linegear on my Romeo which have always been fine.
