heh, I didn't even realise that the knob is plastic. I always thought they're aluminum! Guess nothing for me! :dunno Btw can you tell me what size allen key I need to take that knob off. I got some cheapo set of allen keys and none fits, it seems like it should be somewhere between 2 & 2.5, as neither one of them works. |

I need a better description to tell. If it's the blue one, or the Black or Red Rubber, it's a small flathead screwdriver. If it's the black one with a white dot, or the "Black Dimple", it's a 5/64ths hex. |

If you would ever decide to go with wheel with the stud then there would be one less step to do, meaning removing of the knob itself and setting it somewhere aside, it would always be there. |

It worked well with the special set screws I had here, so I got some plastic ones in. It works fantastically! Much more control than with the other screws. Slides on and "pops" off (literally) so I will be including one of the screws with every wheel order from here out. Also, if anyone who already has a wheel and a premium knob wants one of these screws, they can send me a self addressed, stamped envelope and I'll send them one right out.

This took me all of 15 seconds to do. Once you do that, it will push on just as easily. RandyT |
