Ebay O ring are they any good?
« on: Wed, 23 July 2014, 05:11:52 »
Wonder if anyone has tried these o-rings. They are the cheapest o rings i could find and im unsure if they're any good.

I bought some of these for my Shine 2 since black o-rings would cast a shadow on the legends.

They work fine on keys that have the complete cross support connected to the stem.  Otherwise, you need to double up on the o-rings.

Compared to 50A black o-rings, the white/translucent o-rings are softer.

Edit: Found this pack of 100 70A black o-rings for US$2.08.  The above link is US$9.17 for a pack of 125.

Edit 2: Oops.  The pack of 100 was for 70A black o-rings.

I have also used these and they were surprisingly good considering the price.  :cool:
