Unobtanium Shock Shafts????
 
Been gradually collecting bits to upgrade my stock Stealth B4 and need some shock shafts now. Various sellers are listing Unobtanium shafts which are grey coloured but the Unobtanium shafts in a new FT kit are gold. Is there a difference? Is the gold coating any better/worse? Should I get out more?

Through expierience i think the grey ones are stronger (never broken one) whilst the gold ones are smoother and feel better and are also the sex ;) but broken several

the grey ones started to lose their coating and were not as consistent and smooth over a year as opposed to gold. so they changed the design to gold ones.

personally get gold, but the Unob are still good.

So are the gold kit ones not "Unobtanium" then? Anybody know where I can get some for a reasonable price ie, not £6 each!!!

i thought the gold coating on shock shafts was Titanium-nitride?
well thats what it was on my ohlins forks!

there does seem to be an issue with the B44 shafts as everywhere you look you see or hear about another one bent or broken :confused:

Too much Reeves & Mortimer there mate. Remember "too much sheep vibrating can lead to knotted cardy". There, you've been warned.
