[moved] pegs? and how to make socket pegs!

[mitchwashere53]

what does everyone think about pegs. should only bmxers ride them? are they any good to ride and are they worth buying

step one- first get an old back wheel axle, 14mm socket, and a bearing spacer

step two- get the 14mm socket and put the bearing spacer inside the circle em of the socket not the square end

step three- put the back wheel axle through the bearing spacer at the circle end of socket.

step four- then put it through the fork and tighten

I like them but because im super heavy so i need reinforcments

 

[beastlycaptain]

i like the idea and they're fun to ride. but i agree with zolof, they are pretty ugly.

i think small ones (thin) look better and are better.

you mean like the skater hq ones? Those are stupid as hell, because if you try to do double pegs, the dropouts on the deck just get in the way and your pegs don't even end up touching whatever you're stalling/grinding on..

i used to use bearing pegs but then they would always just get in the way and i never used them much so i decided to just take them off.

Reinforcements is like the same thing as having pegs.

Not true. Pegs are so much easier.

[Jordan Jasa]

pegs can be sick. i use one on the front, can't use it well during the winter though...but i can do like toothpick 270 outs, toothpick to bars, toothpick grinds on my rail and stuff.

 

[mitchwashere53]

yeh well jordan it doesnt count if u do it coz ur just a freak show. and what do you use for pegs?

 

[Lohens91]

if you are big like 200lbs+ would pegs compromise the fork or the dropout?

 

[Manzie]

When you start riding pegs, you will think of so many different tricks to try that you never thought of before, thats why I ride them. But I don't ride them all the time.

Ice-picks are especially fun.

 

[Kyper]

I don't like pegs.


There, one person said it.

I dislike them.
