Gearknobs - Am I missing something?
So I've read various posts on uk and US S2KI about people swapping gearknobs and it making the gear changes better etc. I first came across these years ago and one of the most heavily mentioned was the Skunk2 knob. At £50+ I decided against it. However, last week I found it for sale at half this, so I decided to take a punt on it.
I was led to believe these aftermarket knobs were heavier than the standard one, hence the appeal - but the skunk2 is actually a lot lighter? I can't really tell the difference in shifting with it fitted, except for the fact it sits a bit higher than the standard one (being taller) but otherwise feels the same?

My PWJDM one is around 500g and you can really feel the difference in shifting.

Glad this thread has come up...
Please skunk 2 is around 400 from memory so maybe a fake you've got.
While I'm here thread Jack time!
Has anyone used the blox 490? I nearly pulled the trigger, seen some chaps from the USA forum who approve.
