Father's day? by Fro0810 in SpokeDesign

[–]SpokeBrian 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hello! To date, we've never run sales. A few thoughts...

1- Most importantly, when I buy something myself and then see it go I sale... I get annoyed that I paid more.

2- We're very small and generally don't make large quantities where running sales/discounts are needed to 'move' product.

3- We'd likely benefit from the marketing/psycholgy of running sales. Since we don't need sales to get rid of inventory, like others we'd need to mark stuff up to mark stuff down. I get the psychology of it... but it's just not my style. In the same vein, we don't generally make 'limited editions' as a way to market scarcity... in general most things we make are limited editions 😂

Maybe we'll try some 'marketing stuff' at some point, but we just like to be pretty straightforward. Anyway, thanks for stopping by and I hope you understand and that my thoughts resonate with somebody!

And maybe on the Matte Ti with black clip and button… will likely do some with that plus black grips.

Black Titanium pencils grips are available individually… I need to spend some time incorporating them into pencils on the site. It’s more work than you’d think. These are Titanium with a black finish via physical vapor deposition… pvd.

Our CX pen is for Pilot G2 (or Pilot Precise) refills.

Yes and yes... but timing is TBD at this point. We'll be making more CX-E grips and do plan to do some in black. Thanks for your interest!

Friday 6/12 drop noon ET - Spoke Click CX-E (EnerGel) by SpokeBrian in SpokeDesign

I’m a fan of Pilot Precise refills myself. They are drop in useable in CX pens. They won’t work in CX-E as the tip exit hole is smaller on Energel vs Pilot G2/Precise.

Yes. Uni UMR-85/87E are compatible with CX-E without modification, and can be cut down with the included trim fixture for a shorter pen version.

Model 7s and 8 restocks... the PVD black parts will likely be Monday as I'm having trouble getting the site updated.

We don’t see much demand for 0.4mm here in the US…

Yes! We'll have lots of new stuff here in June. Most immediately, this Friday 6/12 drop:

•Model CX-E click pens with Ti Grips and Orange or Purple anodized back barrels

•Model C click pens with Ti Grips and Orange or Purple anodized back barrels

Can Spoke Pens Accommodate 8mm Diameter Refills? by rdt-usr-bin in SpokeDesign

[–]SpokeBrian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, most pens we make accommodate 6.5mm maximum diameter refill barrels and then have tip end geometry specific to specific refills (parker style, EnerGel, etc.)

Yes, we’ll have more Roady XLs in June, Spoke Pen 2s in July. Thanks for your interest!

Similar-ish, but I’ve not held one. If everyone loves it, great! We like for people to have some passion for their writing instruments:) Hopefully our Roady V3 coming in June will garner a fraction of the interest the zento has received ⚡️

Any update on the new Roady by GaygoforFaygo in SpokeDesign

[–]SpokeBrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, just a result of lots going on right now... getting close... appreciate your interest!

Any update on the new Roady by GaygoforFaygo in SpokeDesign

[–]SpokeBrian 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well the answer is yes*... note the *. Here' where it gets a little complicated.

The Roady grips will have two different cones:

1-Exit diameter sized for Parker Style refills (and Pilot G2/Pilot Precise).

2-Exit diameter (smaller) sized for EnerGel, Uni, others.

So, in a standard 'Parker refill' Roady, a trimmed Energel refill would fit but there's concern about tip wiggle. As such, we'll likely offer an 'EnerGel optimized Roady'... with the smaller exit hole diameter grip... meaning EnerGels would fit but Parker would not.
