Will this socket work for pegs?

[alexiorio]

Yeah I know there are a million threads about pegs, but would this specific socket fit right for a peg? I don't know much about socket wrenches, but I'm guessing the "drive" is where they would normally plug into the wrench? I could put sandpaper on a drill bit and file it if it's too small, right?

I will cut it down a little if it's too long. I'm going to get a 5/16" bolt as well for an axle, don't know how long yet, have to measure.

Ya, most sockets will

Do you think a socket peg would be too much of a hassle on the front? Should I just do bearings for the front?

Yeah, most sockets have the 5/16 hole. The only thing is that you should get some spacers for the bolt that fit snug inside the socket, if you don't the bolt will bend really bad or the socket will wobble around and it won't feel right.

Sockets are easier in the front then the back

I actually have a bunch of extra spacers. Should I get a bolt the length of the socket and fill it with spacers, but every few spacers have a washer that fits in tightly? That sounds good to me

depends hoe big it is but u might need to shave it in for the back anther good idea i seen is some1 from jersey got wethepeople pegs and cut it down then shaved it to fit in the back tiwas reallly good

I'm goofy, I want the pegs on the right side of my scooter right? When I'm standing goofy they'll be behind me.

 

[scootbobby]

try both sides and see wich you prefer

[Skooterdogg]

almost any socket will work, just don't get one thats too long.

 

[AnthonyPellino]

Make sure they are long enough to grind round rails, that's what mine are. But, I usually don;t ride pegs for long.

Make sure that when you do a barpsin it doesnt hit your headtube.

As for which side, just go hop into a feeble the way you are most comfortable with and whichever side the ledge is on you put the pegs on.

where can you buy pegs!! ahaha

Why would you waste money on them when you can just use sockets? lol

 

[conordavidson]

USE A 7/16" SOCKET. It works wonders. That size is the size that you use to tighten a 5/16" bolt, so all you have to do is turn the socket and the whole thing will tighten.

 

[ryan k.]

that doesnt even make sense cause then the socket wouldnt even be on
