JoeFromPA Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Hi all, Wondering if anyone has any of the 3 following shift knobs: Kartboy White Delrin (http://www.kartboy.com/basket/catalog.cgi?query_net_id=kartboy&query_class=KB-015) - Pictured is their metal one, but white delrin is offered Cobb Tuning Delrin w/ aluminum trim (http://www.fredbeansparts.com/servlet/the-1582/Cobb-Tuning-Shift-Knob/Detail) - Just saw this for the first time. ~117 grams...I wonder how that compares to stock/Momo/next one... STI 5-speed Shifter knob made of aluminum, leather, and weighted (http://www.fredbeansparts.com/servlet/the-1001/STi-Shifter-Knob/Detail) Just wondering if anyone has any of these and can comment on the looks/feel/weight. I'll probably buy one with Suby Bucks, but want some good weight and a very short knob....the only one I've seen is the last one, the STI, the most expensive, but incredibly short and very nicely weighted.

nKoan Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I have a Kartboy black delrin knuckleball (don't see it on the current page) which is awesome. I live in a climate that gets 100+ in the summer and near 0 in the winter, so metal knobs were out for me. Anyway, it feels good. Its short, black matches the interior the best, but it isn't the heaviest knob I've felt (but its not the lightest). http://www.neurosybir.net/nkoan/images/KartboyKnob/door.jpg Prior to that knob, I had the HKS D1 knob, which was also a black delrin. It was more spherical than the Kartboy knuckleball, but also smaller overall. Same height overall. http://www.neurosybir.net/nkoan/images/OngoingProject/shiftknob.jpg I personally liked both. IMO, both felt great and looked great. Neither was very heavy, though, if that is something you are interested in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeFromPA Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share Posted February 4, 2009 How are they in weight compared to stock? I have a white LGT w/ tan interior, so a white or leather/aluminum knob would probably look fine. Nonetheless, Kartboy is $40 shipped so that is always a good option in my book.

nKoan Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 About the same as stock, but its been 4 years since I've used the stock knob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bolksey85 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I don't have any of the 3, but if the Cobb knob () was available when I bought my Monster, I'd have gotten that instead. Don't get me wrong, I really like the Monster Knob but think the extra $20-25 for the Cobb would have been well worth it. Maybe down the road I'll go that route but right now I'm happy with what I have. http://monsterknobs.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fonts Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I've been running a STi sphere copolymer shift knob (mind you it's the 6MT version) for about 2 years and absolutely love it. Doesn't get too hot or too cold. Right size and weight. Here is the 5MT version. http://www.turninconcepts.com/product_info.php?cPath=1_178_179_240&products_id=274 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilbrudder Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I've aways wanted to try this one, you should be able to hook up windows or radio volume or next track to it, plus it doesn't look bad in person either. http://www.trucknvans.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=PM172 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
