Rolock 90

[Zef]

So if I have Ultimas right now I should be able to swap over to rolock 90s with no issues? I'm using showa 660s and if the install of the pvc gloves is as easy as this looks, this seems like an easy choice.

If you are using your Ultimas with a drysuit that has the PU ring from the Si-Tech QCS oval system installed, then you should be able to swap over to the Rolock 90 without any issue.

Got mine installed today and it feels almost too easy that you can install showa gloves on these rings with so little effort. It will be a few weeks before I can dive them but I'm excited.

Dove them this weekend and they feel very sold. It is a little more difficult for me to lock them in but not that bad. No leaks for me and had no issues underwater.

They will get easier, don’t over lube them and don’t sweat the dots being 100% lined up.

Like @lexvil said don't overlube. They also have a break in period. Mine took a bit to loosen up. Now I can't remember when I lubed, and I always wipe it down after.

Rock solid for years now, and I also never get the dots lined up.. maybe 1/2 way or so.

Ok - when I inevitable hole a glove, do I need to take the o-ring off the blue ring and clean it or just relube and put a new glove on? Seems like I would really just need to pay attention to making the black ring (that the blue ring and glove seal against) is clean and has some silicone in it?

I would/ have just put a little on that ring, my gloves last such a long time that I haven’t any fresh memory or it, it’s been a year since I’ve changed a glove (Showa 3415)

If upon inspection you find the o-ring is dirty, then clean and relube it with silicone grease....just a tiny amount so the o-ring is shiny, no excess glooping everything up. The o-ring on the blue retention ring is fairly well protected from contamination given how it is sandwiched in there so I would be surprised if it needs any attention.

I would not add any silicone lube to the black ring, instead spray some soapy water in there to help the glove move when pulling it to adjust its length.
