Bob Krueger informed us last week that prices on his Team Voodoo titaniun knobs would go up dramatically with our next order. We currently sell the titanium knobs for $135. We have a total of 15 knobs left in our inventory at that price. We also have one pistol grip titanium S2000 knob at that price, a very rare item indeed.

Once they're gone and we have to order a new supply, the price will increase to at least $165. So if you've thought about a titanium knob, now's the time.

A titanium knob is a luxury item for sure, but the extra weight and feel of the knob, along with its hardness and resistance to scratches, makes it a dream on the S2000.

 

Why the price hike? Titanium getting more rare?

 

Got mine. Love it.

Like all natural resources that have a demand, prices go up. It's a fact of life.

 

Thanks Rick. I just emailed you.

 

It's owing to rising demand for metals in China. I read about this a few months ago, but it didn't hit home until Bob emailed us with a warning. The demand for oil, metals, and other resources and raw materials in China is pushing up demand dramatically. With limitied supplies, the old rule of supply and demand kicks in -- prices go up.

 

****ing China, stop growing economically - you're screwing us all with oil / gas prices and now titanium! LOL, I'm somewhat just kidding.

 

No, the price of steel has gone through the roof because China has bought up all the scrap. So what was once made from steel is now getting made using other metals. Ti is just one of them. Aluminum has also gone way up (percentage) but because it is cheaper to start with, you don't notice it as much.

 

I'm sure the UK said the same thing about the USA at the time of the industrial revolution.

 

Any pics of the pistol grip?

 

sweet I just bought a full Titanium road bike, looks like I made a good investment
