Here’s a little something we spotted while scrolling through Instagram today. It looks like The Shadow Conspiracy have been working on a new peg called the Plasmatic Peg. They didn’t release any details beyond the photo, but it appears to have a plastic sleeve, which we would have to imagine has a special nylon / fibreglass compound, with something unique going on with the internals. If you check the Instagram post below, you can see their Multi-Tool, but it’s hard to see if there is an extension. The reason we say that is because in the photo above it appears that there is some sort of insert inside of the peg with a square that could fit a 3/8″ wrench similar to how a couple fork compression caps come. We also noticed an adaptor at the dropout in the multi-tool photo. Maybe a possible thread on style peg like back in the day, but there would just need to be a way to prevent it from threading loose. A lot to think about from two photos and no details, haha.
We’ll be bugging the guys over at Shadow to find out what’s going on here, and we would imagine there will be more details soon. Either way, it caught our attention…
