Question Rolock 90 cuff system with seaskin nova

[twistypencil]

I got the Rolock 90 glove system, and when I ordered the Seaskin Nova, I specified the SciTech Oval Cuff rings, as folks here said I should.

Now that I've received the suit and the rolock system, I've been putting it together. I've got the gloves fitted on, and then I went to see how to attach it to the suit, and I don't see how it will work. The silicon wrist seals are already on the suit and the Rolock piece that goes onto the suit isn't going to fit there. Am I doing something wrong, did I get the wrong cuff rings, or did seaskin put on the wrong thing?

No, you got correct rings. You need to pull out QCS rings and then put seals on Rolock rings and put them on.
There is a chance that Rolock rings are a tiny bit larger and will take some foul language to get them on.

The QCS rings seem sealed on the suit, how do I pull them off?!

Don't worry, it'll come out

Thanks for the video. Even with that, I couldn't figure it out for a while, but I finally got them to come out!

Am I correct that the oval rings that I took out (where the seals are), are *not* used if I am using the Rolocks?

is a slightly better version

Correct.
You remove seals from QCS, put them on Rolock and reassemble.
Like I said, there is a chance that Rolock rings are slightly bigger than QCS (that's a case for me), but you will get the hang of it.

Easiest tool for getting the QCS out is a plastic bicycle tire spoon. I keep one in my dive kit.

I can easily remove QCS with my fingers. Rolock is fighting me all the way, even with tire spoon.
