In Reply to: Help on the price... Which is more expenive? posted by WBWB on November 5, 2005 at 21:28:35:
From GPA's website, I list 3 statements:"Apex Carbon Composite Footers (includes 3 x 1/2" hard-chrome balls): $550.00/set of 3"
"Silicone Nitride, Upgrade Ball for Apex"
"The common diameter of our ball bearing allows the end user to experiment with a variety of bearing materials readily available in this standard 0.5" size (ceramic silicon nitrate, Tungsten carbide)."
Does that mean GPA sell 2 types of balls?
1) Standard version = chrome, which I think I saw.
2) Upgrade version = Silicone Nitride = ceramic silicon nitrate = Tungsten carbide?Oh boy! Now I am confused about the terminology!
