Difference between steel and alum. pegs?

[Original Tristan]

Whats the deference between steel and aluminum pegs?(besides strength)

 

[iridescootersnotboards]

aluminum is lighter but its a peg so it doesn't matter

 

[issac p]

aluminum slides a lot better, but it wheres done a lot faster to. its a softer metal
steel pegs will last you forever but they dont slide well unless you are grinding metal or a really buttery ledge

 

[Rob.]

Steel will far outlast an aluminum.

 

[toddjamin]

copings are steel

steel on steel coef of friction = 0.8

Alu on steel = 0.6

alu on alu= 1.1

lower coef = better slide

Hello Todd
You live in Brighton
In England
I live in Walsall
In England.

I'm from england, and I'm from walsall. and I doubt anyone gives a fuck about knowing it.


and yeah, stainless steel is much better for grinds dude to how long they last and how unsticky they tend to be.

aluminum wears in quicker and is therefore more sticky from my own experience making it better for stalls.

 

[Dom Marconi]

Steel slides faster than aluminum. People just think aluminum slides faster because aluminum feels more buttery. That's why you aren't supposed to grind aluminum handrails on bikes, because you can stick on and eat shit.

i care that your from walsall josh, i love your midland tones!

and peeps, the friction coefiecients say it all. alu on steel slides best, steel on steel slides ok and alu on alu is sticky as hell.

and its pretty obvious that alu will wear down quicker than steel

after a while aluminum pegs will like where down and bend in super wierd ways.

Ha, ha. Notice how I don't get noticed. I feel left out.

 

[Derek Seay]

Your sig basically says you like to rape Llama's..... and you wonder why you dont get mentioned?

 

[RiccardoM]

...I was joking... but now I'm Riccardo.

No, I was joking.

 

[Rob.]

Guys keep the personal conversations out of the threads please.

 

[RiccardoM]

Hey, nothings really come of my thread, but what do you think of MR. H steel pegs?

 

[Matthew_D]

one made of aluminum and the other steel is basically it. Blunt was kinda smart and made a combo of the two: http://www.nolimitscooters.com/blunt-pegs

I was talking about concrete, but yeah, on steel, aluminum will slide the fastest. If you ride a lot of concrete ledges, I would definitely go with steel pegs.

 

[Victor C.]

what about magray plastic pegs? i heard they slide really well on concrete? would they be good for me? i ride a lot of concrete ledges

 

[issac p]

i had magray pegs for about 7 months and all i grinded was concrete.
they slide really good and they are well worth $17
