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?

BSD have released their new Rude Tube LT pegs…
The guys at BSD have been working on figuring out how to make their Dan Paley signature Rude Tube pegs lighter, without sacrificing strength. It looks like they have done the trick and have just released their new Rude Tube LT Pegs. These BMX pegs start out with a lightweight 7075 alloy inner peg with a heat-treated chromoly insert and then the durable plastic sleeve that slides on over the top.
The Rude Tube LT Pegs are available in 4.2″ length or an XL size of 4.5″, weigh in at 115 grams / 4.05 oz. (33% lighter than the original) and come in 10mm or 14mm sizes. These are available through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry BSD worldwide now. Get more details on this new peg below.
Also, if you don’t like lighter… The original Rude Tube pegs with a full chromoly core will still be available.
“This Rude Tube peg has gone on a diet!! Let’s face it, who wouldn’t like to save some weight on their bike, 4 pegs weigh quite a lot but they don’t have to.
When setting out to design a lighter weight version of our original chromoly cored Rude Tube peg we wanted to come up with a new design that solves some of the issues of switching to an alloy inner. The problem with most alloy pegs is that they deform at the axle end. The Rude Tube LT doesn’t, using the same plastic outer as the Rude Tube peg, the LT has a tough 7075 alloy inner with a heat treated chromo adaptor at the dropout interface which won’t lose it’s shape from over tightening or when catching an upright.
Weighing 33% less at only 115g each it means you can run 4 pegs with the equivalent weight of just over 2.5.”
If you ever wondered how to use BMX pegs, this video that Marc Meeuwissen put together should do the trick in showing you. Hit play to watch Marc put all four (14?) of his pegs to proper use on a bunch of ledges and curbs. This also has a little promo for the Team SAF sweatshirt, too.
“I can’t describe this video. Making a fool of myself for your satisfaction. Keep your grind right; keep your mind right.”
