Sneak Peek: The Shadow Conspiracy Plasmatic Peg

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…

The Return of the Terrible One Pegs

Leave a Comment

Terrible One have re-released their T1 Pegs once again!

Here’s one for the Mid School guys! Terrible One have re-issued their classic T1 pegs that were real popular back in the day. These pegs are unique because they have a chromoly sleeve that is pressed over an aluminum core, kind of like how plastic pegs work these days, but a metal sleeve that is way more durable. They are 4″ long with a 1.5″ diameter (38mm) and come in 14mm and 3/8″ sizes. You can pick these up for about $20.99 each through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Terrible One worldwide. Empire have them for example. Get the full details on these pegs straight from Terrible One…

“The T-1 pegs are back! And, this description of them from the early 2000s still rings true… The original T-1 peg lives on. The pegs are both light and fast due to its sleeved tubular design. Meaning, a chromoly sleeve has been pressed over an aluminum peg body to give the peg the best of both worlds. Its lightness and strength is derived from its aluminum body, but the hard chromoly sleeve is what is responsible for the speed when grinding. Not to mention that the aluminum tip make them cement skatepark friendly. Basically, they’re wicked awesome! Thanks to Maul’s Bike Shop for the photo!” – Terrible One

If some of you need a reminder of what the original pegs with the barcode logo and polished core…

3D Printed BMX Pegs?

Leave a Comment

Jonny Lee has been on a mission lately to see how many 3D printed parts he could make. First, he made a 3D Printed Sprocket, then he went and made a 3D Printed Stem. It looks like he didn’t stop there because he has cooked up a set of 3D Printed pegs. Well, they’re actually peg sleeves. Check out the video to see the pegs, along with how he got them to work with the chromoly inserts from another set of pegs. After that, he puts them to good use on a flat ledge / rail setup he has in his driveway. There was some speculation on how safe / durable the sprocket or stem was, but we’re pretty sure everyone who rides plastic pegs will want to try this one out.

“A lot of people were asking for me to 3D print pegs/peg sleeves… so here you go!” – Jonny Lee

What else would you want to see for a 3D printed BMX part? Pedals maybe?
