The Shadow Conspiracy – Plasmatic Peg – Details Leaked? Maybe?

Leave a Comment

Get a look at the leaked details on The Shadow Conspiracy Plasmatic Peg that we’ve been waiting to see for about a year now!

The first look at the Plasmatic Peg from The Shadow Conspiracy popped up about a year ago, and since then it’s been fairly quiet and we didn’t really hear much or see anything. Then, the other day, Shadow dropped a teaser picture on Instagram to stoke the embers of the fire back up. Unfortunately, that didn’t give away anything as far as details. Brant Moore was trying to figure out the details and stumbled on to a website that has the elusive peg listed. We’re not sure why a random shop in Michigan has the pegs listed, but they let the cat out of the bag with this one. It looks like, as many people guessed, the peg uses a thicker plastic sleeve and a longer core that also doubles as the nut on your axle so you can tighten it down with a 3/8″ ratchet from the outside on the end of the peg instead of needing a socket an extension.

The photo shows how it would work on a 14mm or 3/8″ male axle, but it doesn’t show what would be used for female axles. We would assume that would be the $7.99 adaptor that there isn’t a photo of, but it’s likely either a threaded bolt that goes into the peg and the axle, but like Brant mentions in the video, we’re not sure how that would keep the peg, male or female, from backing itself off and becoming loose.

Either way, it looks like the peg will retail for $27.99 each with the $7.99 adaptor separate. If this random shop in Michigan has it listed, it shouldn’t be long before it’s available through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry The Shadow Conspiracy. We’ll keep you posted as soon as we know more!

UPDATE: A source says that this isn’t exactly correct an that the final version of the peg will be different than what’s seen, and that it’s still a little ways out from being released. We’re not sure what changes there will be if a dealer has photos / pricing and the logos and everything are done, but it’s possible. Could have been a last minute change. We’ll have to wait and see…End of update

Bamboo BMX Pegs?

Leave a Comment

Can you make a BMX peg out of Bamboo? We already know you can build a BMX bike out of bamboo thanks to Mat Hoffman, but we aren’t too sure about pegs made from bamboo. Big Boy decided to head into the workshop and fabricate some bamboo BMX pegs and see how it all works out. Hit play and see how it all played out.

“Big Boy is on a quest to make BMX pegs out of anything he can, and this time he tried to use Bamboo! He has to make DIY bike pegs and complete BMX tricks with them! Did he make Eco-friendly BMX pegs?” – Scotty Cranmer

The crew at Mutant Bikes have released a new and improved second version of their Peguard peg!

The other day we took a look at the new Fit Bike Co. PVC Pegs, now today we get a look at Ben Silver picking up a set to help him beat a concrete ledge that he wasn’t able to take care of with his metal pegs. You won’t be able to find these at Home Depot, but they will help you grind.

“Our new PVC peg features a strong yet lightweight 4130 alloy steel core inserted into a fast-grinding, injection molded, plastic polymer sleeve. Included with each peg is a hardened steel 14mm/10mm reduction sleeve for use with a 3/8″ / 10mm axles. Unlike smaller diameter pegs that only accept some 17mm sockets, this peg accepts 17mm and 19mm sockets for installation/removal.
