The other day the guys at Ride BMX India hit us with a photo of a plastic peg sleeve they made out of PVC. If you caught our interview with the guys the other week, you would know that BMX parts are hard to come by there and they don’t really have the money to get the latest and greatest product… They wanted to try plastic pegs, so they found some PVC and made some sleeves that kind of get the job done. Check out how they do it and get weirded out by the end, haha.
