Which Flossy Knob?

I am going to pull the trigger on the TWM short shifter w/cage. I am wondering which flossy knob would be a better fit with the SS?

Grip Tape Heavy Weight: http://www.shopflossy.com/collection...pe-heavyweight

Grip Tape Shorty: http://www.shopflossy.com/collection...ape-shorty-blk

I've seen the reviews on rides with flossy's, but didn't notice if it was on SS or stock.

Anyone running these with a TWM SS? Any help would be most appreciated!

i went ahead and bought a custom flossy heavyweight with a torque solutions ss. I paid extra for the custom part thinking they can make it work. they got it all wrong. The first one didnt go any where near the bottom of the threading, and the second one which took them 2 months( Yes 2 months) to make for whatever reason just went down maybe 1 mm more. Then i went to unscrew it and the aluminum insert they put in got stuck on the ss. Now im forced to use it half way screwed down. im very disappointed in the company.

Thats all with a torque solutions SS. not sure if the twm is the same but just a piece of advice from me. Stick to TWM. get one of there weighted knobs. Flossys not worth the time or money.

It says on their site that you should contact them first if running it with a short shifter... Maybe they can help with this.

Have a Flossy heavyweight on at the moment...however I don't like it nearly as much as my Blox.

The Flossy's been loose since day 1; I just ordered some loctite to fix it. The Blox never moved whatsoever. And yes, it's because of the aluminum insert that Flossy uses. The insert stays on the shifter but the knob itself moves on the insert.... .

No such issues with the Blox, which I'll put back on this winter and probably leave on going forward.

This is all on a Works SS.
