What makes you think that? The DM2 uses silicone o-rings. They shouldn’t wear too quickly. The ones in my Legacy are over 2 years old and still good. BTW - this doesn’t warrant a poll. ---

Mine last for a very long time before I have to replace them (the stock ones). But, it depends on how much you play with it… ---

Funny. My Legacy Silicone O-Ring has worned out in 2 months. I play my Legacy less than an hour a day. ---

But when I silicone it myself, it “seems” to last longer as it doesn’t show much wear now. ---
