sweet. i think i'm going to get 2 instead of 4, just for now. i'll probably get another set later on. what i'm, pumped about is it's chromoly so it will grind hellllaa good and last way longer than other ones.



last longer, grind better, works with more forks.

downside is that its heavier and shorter

(shorter is actually a plus for me but some people might not like it)

they're steel.

yeah but i think they're just hi ten steel.

prepare to be educated.

4140 (what they made the pegs out of) alloy steel is allmost exactly the same as 4130 alloy steel (this is what bars are made out of). 4130 is easier for welding and fabrication work, and is more readily sold in tube/sheet. also it's very weldable compared to 4140 which is mainly used in thicker components because it is more readily heat treatable to higher levels and machines easier (which is why he made these pegs out of 4140). chromoly is simply a steel alloy, it has chromium and molybdenum along with the steel.

EDIT: in case i wasn't clear enough,
4140: what pegs are made out of.
reason for this: more machinable and heat treatable (heat treating makes metal stronger and harder)

4130: what bars are made out of.
reason for this: very weldable and readily available in many different sizes of tubing.

i'm comparing the two because 4130 is obviously chromoly. 4140 is just slightly different and sill has chromium and molybdenum added to the steel, making it CHROMOLY.

EDIT AGAIN: just in case you're still confused, 4130/4140 is a code of the American Iron & Steel Institute and says whatever the approximate chemical composition of the steel.

The "41" denotes a low alloy steel containing nominally 1 percent chromium and 0.2 percent molybdenum (thats where it gets the nickname "chromoly"). The "30"/"40" means a carbon content of 0.30/0.40 percent. normal alloy steels, there will be around 0.2-0.5 percent silicon, 0.5-1.0 percent manganese. The remaining 97-98 percent is iron

this IS chromoly. NOT just hi ten steel.

you know your ----- unless you just looked it up on the internet just now. not saying you did. if i actually would've looked, it says it right on tilts web site that they're made of 4140. my bad bro.

hahaha i got on the thread and i was like wtf?!?!? hahaha. i'm getting these though. i like the look of the polished tilts (which they stopped making), but they don't fit my inward forks. these are stronger anyway.

I like the other design better, i dont really like the "cone" design of these.

It's nice to see that everyone is super stoked about the new pegs coming out, and you should be, they are at another level.

I know the difference in weight is an obvious concern to a lot of riders, but let me tell you right now that at least for me, the weight difference is negligible (aka I don't really even notice it).

I'll clear up some obvious questions (even though Mario has already done a good job of that) but they are in fact 2 inches which is the same and almost standard length as other pegs are. The tapered end (aka where it gets skinny) works perfect; I'm in the 155lb + weight range and there has been no problem with them at the point where the peg rests on the deck/fork, they are SOLID. Grinding with these pegs are much smoother than past pegs I have used.

Here's a few pics of how they look on my scooter (no need to flame, taken with my phone, I'm just showing my set up, if you see washers they weren't supposed to be there, just wasn't thinking when I put them on at the time)

Keep your eye out, and grab a pair as soon as they hit the shelves!

most likely fit phoenix deck, like 80%. yes, you will have to drill your fork but lucky is stupid idk why they did that. i have a lucky fork and im thinkin about just drilling it.

yeah i bet it will fit. and yeah that was stupid, ima drill it, i want these pegs.
