Chris Silva and the Animal Axle Nuts

Coming up with this intro is a little tricky… Chris Silva is a Canandian BMX legend regardless if he wants to believe it or not. Over the years, Chris has destroyed A LOT of rails all over with and without the help of his pegs. Although grinding without pegs seems damn near impossible, he does it.
Some of you older riders out there will remember the classic Primo “Jewel” axle nuts that were essentially axle nuts that were rounded off to work more like pegs back in the day. Thanks to this little invention, it helped and inspired Chris to push the limits of his grinding abilities and helped make him into that legend we were talking about above that he is today.
A few months back when I was talking with Chris, he had mentioned that he was working on something with Animal Bikes that he was really psyched on. After bugging him a bit, he let the cat out of the bag that they were developing a newer, better, Chris Silva signature version of the Jewel axle nuts that would be coming out this summer.
There was no way we couldn’t find out more, so we got Chris to talk about these axle nuts (don’t call them a peg!) and the history of what lead to today. Let’s see what he had to say!

Name: Chris Silva

Sneak Peek: The Daily Grind – Eon Peg

February 18, 2014

Daily_Grind_Eon_BMX_Pegs_600x

Here’s a little exclusive sneak peek for you guys. If you were wondering if or when The Daily Grind would be releasing pegs… The answer is very soon! Anyone who has really taken a closer look at The Daily Grind’s products know that they’re designed to take heavy abuse from the streets and are always given plenty of testing time to make sure they’re actually going to last you.

Gremlin and the rest of the guys on the team received their first samples of the pegs last summer which featured a 1-1/2″ diameter. After a few months of testing, they decided to go with a smaller 1-3/8″ diameter and then added a little extra material to thicken the walls of the peg. Since last fall, they have been giving those Eon pegs a beating on rails, ledges and anything else they could put them to the test on and they have all decided since none of them could break them from the hell they put them through, that they’re ready for you.

The Eon pegs are made from strong 4150 chromoly and feature a 1-3/8″ diameter and a length of 4.4″ with that extra beef to make sure it will last you a long time.

The Eon pegs will be available in April on Dan’s Comp and the Daily Grind Webstore, or you can have your local shop hit up The Daily Grind directly to get you some pre-ordered now so you can be the first one to get your hands (rails, ledges, whatever you want to use really) on them!
