home made peggs..

[greg m]

i have seen some people with home made plastic peggs, and i was wondering what kind of plastic they used and where to get it..

 

[Kroto]

they would probably break wouldn't they?

 

[greg m]

nope.. there strong as fuck..
thats why i want to make some!!
but dont really know how

 

[Kroto]

so your telling me plastic pegs are stronger than metal ones..?

 

[Zach!]

^^^hell no metals are like 5 times stronger

 

[matr!]

bendable:

Metal: Yes
Plastic: No

Snappable:

Metal: yes
Plastic: yes

+ Plastic would slide better. Yes? Plastic wins imo

 

[Jacek]

PVC pipe + a nut jammed inside = Pleg?

idk try it

 

[greg m]

first of all they are about the same strength, but plastics are better forgrinds..
and i have seen people with them and they aret pvc, i just want to kow what they usd!!

rottweiler has 2 sockets he uses as pegs. id say find some crafstmen ones so if they break, you go to sears and get new ones free no matter.

 

[Isaac Coy]

thats kinda a good idea haha ^^

 

[airplanes18]

yeah, it is. ill be doing it.

 

[parrish]

Plastic are just as strong as metal... Never bend. I,ve riddend both

 

[Rob.]

plastic strength vs. metal strength is unbelievable in this thread.. holy shit.

Why not just make a socket peg? it's only ounces heavier and.. much stronger..
most pegs don't bend, they shatter (plastic) or the bolt bends.

 

[airplanes18]

Why not just make a socket peg?

did you not read what i said? i already said that.

 

[yoyoflavored]

you can get plastic pegs at quebec scooters... they look pretty good

 

[Rob.]

he's wondering how to make them not where to get them

And I saw airplanes.. i was just sayin

Nylon.
Strongest plastic, my dad is a plastic welder.
It's also important to make it thick, you would have to find a place that does cnc.

 

[airplanes18]

aight rob, just making sure you saw

there is a plastic known as delrin, in many cases as strong as steel, and it can be machined in the same way. This is the plastic composite that is used on the edges of crotch rocket cages that have frame sliders, so that when you dump your motorcycle the idea is that the delrin slides and absorbs the impact instead of your 10k motorcycle. Anyway, I made a set of plastic pegs from this material and had great success, just my two cents. And as a note to Zane, you would not need to find a company that does cnc (computer numerical controlled), but actually just a manual lathe would all that would be needed. CNC'd parts become much more expensive.
