Fit Bike Co. – PVC Peg

Leave a Comment

Anyone who has run metal pegs before ever trying plastic pegs has probably wondered if they could just slide a piece of PVC tubing over their peg to get the same effect. in fact it’s been done a time or two. Fit Bike Co. have released their new PVC Peg that looks like a makeshift PVC slip on cover, but uses normal plastic sleeves. The PVC peg has a lightweight 4130 alloy steel core insert with an injection molded, plastic polymer sleeve. The peg has 14mm axle holes, but comes with an adaptor to fit 3/8″ axles as well. Also, if you have ever ran into the issue where you could barely fit a socket into the peg, you’ll be happy to know these fit 17mm and 19mm sockets no problem.

You can pick the PVC peg up in Black and White colors with a 4.5″ length and a price tag of $10.99 each with replacement sleeves available for $6.00 each as well through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Fit Bike Co. worldwide now.

DIY BMX Pegs

Leave a Comment

Mike Fede hit us with a link to a video from a little DIY idea he had saw a rider do, and figured he would test out. If you have ever wanted to try plastic pegs, but you don’t want to spend the money… Here’s a cheap option that apparently works… Sort of. All you have to do is get some PVC pipe that fits over your peg snuggly, and you’re good to go. Take a look!

I feel like this should have been in Dustin Lee‘s cheap man’s Top 10 BMX Life Hacks video.

“In today’s video we keep the plastic theme going from the last video with plastic tires, and now to PVC plastic peg sleeves. We went into it a little blind with the sizing of the PVC but we make it work.” – Mike Fede

“Today we decide to take one of johns ideas for the will it ride series and give it a try. This is pex pipe for tires. Pex pipe is a form of PVC that is flexible. This was a lot of fun to do and we plan on bringing it back in the near future with some added ideas.“

Sneak Peek: The Shadow Conspiracy Plasmatic Peg

Leave a Comment

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…

What do you think? Let us know in the comments below!

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
