Tighten TC-R2 Control Ring

recDNA · Jan 28, 2015

Does anybody know an easy way to make the magnetic control ring a little tighter and smoother? Over the years mine has become a little looser than when new. It isn't horrible but if there is some heavy lube or something to tighten and make it smooth again it would be perfect. I know Vinh does something to tighte n the ring in the v11r. Mine is actually too tight. Obviously I am finicky.

Would have to dismantle it and relube with heavy silicone grease or damping grease (similar to that found for the V10R Ti).

I don't know how to dismantle it nor what issues there are putting it back together.

Considering all that you want done, I now want to get one so I can do a bunch of work on it and tell you all about it.

Sorry, I assumed you had one when you replied. Maybe someone else does.

I've worked on a few rrt01, the aluminum version. Switch repair, clips, and led swaps. Have not worked on the ring yet.

I'm guessing the TC-R2 is more like the rrt-0 anyway.

Sorry. I meant rrt0. I've done control rings on the tcr1 and rrt01 too.

Has anybody else done this?

I've had a JB control ring seize due to beach sand. Disassembly and re-lube made the control ring better than when I received it, brand new.
I used Fireclaw18's how to, it's spot on and easy to follow.

Thanks! Those directions are not for TC-R2 however they probably apply. In any event way beyond my skill set. I was hoping there was some trick to just remove ring, put in grease, put ring back. I'll have to tolerate the ring as it is. It isn't gritty or anything. Just too easy to turn ring and it feels sort of loose.

Yes. You would definitely have to desolder and dismantle it to relube it. Sunwayman is a lot easier. No circuit disassembly required.
