Hey there, just wondering is there any difference in the 5SP blox and kunk2 gear knob in terms of quality and feel?

it should be very very similar if not the same in terms of quality, weight and the feel of it

Go to a shop and ask to feel the both Terry.

Come back to the thread and report.

In reality it would be more in the weight, height that would effect feel.

It also varies from personal taste.

I have a one of those gigantic "Dildo Knobs", its a good 6" but I love the feel, the shifting throw has increased which was a big Plus One for me.

same weight, same design, just different brands and the labeling. GL terry

From what I have read, one of the top engineers at Skunk2 is the creator of Blox.
So they are very similar if not exactly the same.

Skunk2 has more weight. Skunk2 is also aluminium, while dc2r is titanium. Aluminium will scratch if you wear rings on your fingers.

You need to use the lock nut, which is a standard M10 x 1.5 nut. Alternatively, add some threadlocker.
