Is that Snow Prizm Black custom cut for the R2?

Correct

@XxRuMKaxX how well are the Linegear R2 lenses? Do you like them more than OEM R2 lenses?

In a R2 I open myself to LG and LG only outside of OEM... sourcing OEM lenses or someone willing to cut them is more work than it is worth anymore so yes my future pairs will have LG if the OEM lenses need replaced.

Thanks for the answer. It seems the R2 is the only frame people don't cut lenses for.

The margin for error is too high to do it for someone else... you will wreck lenses eventually then you are in the hole so yea most won't touch it.

I guess this theory is applicable to half X lens too.

So, I’ve finished tuning up my Romeo 2s, and I can honestly say they’re now the most comfortable Oakleys I’ve ever worn — almost weightless for a metal frame. For now, I’ve settled on dark blue lenses(something like ice + pos red), but the best-looking setup by far is with the titanium-colored lenses. I also picked up a pair of lime gold lenses as a more summery option, and I’ll share photos of those two variations a bit later. As for the rubber parts, I went with black — simple and classic. Looking ahead, I’m planning to get the Linegear Mirror Red lenses — that deep, blood-red shade. Paired with the carbon frame, I think it’s going to look absolutely killer.

Was it easy to replace lenses? What is the best way to change them?

I have started to leave the set screw alone and just pop them in and out like you would a flak jacket... if you hook it in at the outer orb then give it a slight bend it slides in pretty easy at the bridge

Actually, it’s quite simple — the mechanism consists of a screw surrounded by a rubber ring(The rubber ring softens the contact between the screw and the lens, and also increases the tightness of the lens fit within the frame.). When I disassembled the glasses for the first time, I unscrewed it to remove the lenses. However, when I was installing the new lenses, I realized that it’s not necessary to unscrew it each time. You can just leave it in place and simply swap the lenses. Overall, it’s a very easy and straightforward lens replacement system, and in my opinion, one of the most practical I’ve seen.
