Metanium MGL B XG handle length

[newapti5]

Could someone help me with the handle length of a US version 20 Metanium MGL B XG? Mine is 6.0 ratio and the handle length is 85mm. I am thinking about getting a longer one from the XG model. Thanks!

I'm pretty sure it's 96MM.

 

I have the 20 USDM HG and it's not quite 90MM compared to 22 Bantam XG which comes with 90MM handle assembly for some reason, but the difference is so small that you can't even tell.

You can just order it here. I have bought a few but don't remember the length.

Thanks, that's where I plan to order it from; just want to make sure it's longer than what I already have. An interesting thing about their pricing: the handle shank itself is $32, but the whole handle including knobs and bearings is only $36.

the issue here is that the metanium small knobs sucks.. my favorite handle is the 150MGL XG. large knobs and long handle. 

For reference, I put shimano handles on my dawias.. I like them all same length and larger knobs.. on metaniums I replace the knobs with the MGL ones. MGL's don't come with bearing, but I really don't see the deference. Also, the retaining nut plastic part is different you you need to buy that part plus the handle (nut itself its the same)

Thanks, 96mm will be what I am looking for. Bigger knobs will just be bonus.
