nope, i havent tested them myself but weve had them on test for a few month, testing strength and downfalls, dosent seem to bring any damage to the peg, theres vids on youtube of 1 of the team members trying there hardest to snap them but them holding up well.

basically the answer is no, it dosent loosen when you grind :)

Every single company should do just this with all of their parts. Just put them through rediculous amounts of flyout tricks and whatnot.

indeed they should, they shouldnt release a product and make us waste our time trying to send it back when it breaks and waiting months to get the same part which is going to snap anyway haha

i dont know much about pegs, but i know how the 81 pegs exactly work and there are videos on youtube of how the pegs work aswell.

check it out and see if its the exact same design :)

but the pegs have been through many tests and this design has definatly come out the strongest through lots of reinforcement to the peg

Grind Pegs

Yes the pegs are similar, the main difference is that on our pegs we extended the threaded area inside the peg and opened up the hole at the begining. This means that the threaded part of the bolt can continue and pull the more solid shank inside. This takes the shear point away so that the when the rider lands hard the impact is on the shank and not the thread. But we had no intention to copy. This is just our take on it
thanks 81 Customs
