I make bearing pegs. Pretty much, find 5 or 6 really old shitty bearings, or new ones if your rich. Get a back axle and put it through the fork with the wheel on and all, then put the bearings on the left over axle and tighten it up. Only works on front, unless you get a really long bolt for the back.
Think this only works with stock forks to, not sure...

They look slick,how much where the sockets? imthinking about solidones

like you can em pretty cheap for a set but im not shure if you can get them separately but the size is 1/2
i just took it out my garage cos there was more that 1 in that size , but its strong as hell !

if you made it yourself on a lathe wouldn't you have to lathe a perfect size axle on it as-well , then put thread on it ?

Well it would be1 inch in diameter and 2 inch in length,drilled and tapped so i can use a 8mm bolt

something along these lines without the taper:

I made socketpegs yesterday, just getting the front one cut down a bit. Pics later when I get home.

Everyone told me to get a 5/16 bolt for an axle but it was to small? So I just put tape around it and it works now without wobbling.

I used 18mm sockets and a 4.5 inch bolt for the back, with two extra spacers and a lock nut, and a MGP back axle for the front. I got a bolt aswell but I'll keep that spare.
