I think the ledge double peg test was not accurate, since the more often you grind, the smoother the ledge gets since the rough surface of the stone will get filled with plastic from previous pegs.. still great video!
@danscompvideos2 жыл бұрын
That is a VERY good point and I failed to include it in the video, but I did try and wipe down/scrape up any plastic on the ledge in-between each test to keep it clean. As best as possible at least. That being said, you're correct that could play some factor, but probably not as much since each take was fairly cleaned off. Good call.

Thanks for the great video. I just don't understand why some of the more common and highly regarded pegs such as the Eclat Venom peg, Primo HD peg, Odessey graduate peg, BSD rude tube peg, Animal BENNY L signature peg and MERRITT GFE peg are not included in the review? We are waiting for the second round.

We went off some of our more popular options that we sell here at the shop. There are certainly others I'd like to revisit in the future. The Merritt pegs especially as they've already challenged us to put them to the test.

Been riding the fiction troop pegs and they have served me well. Only been riding like 6months. But my friend’s bike shop went outa business so I bought his stock of joystick sleeves for super cheap. He ended up giving me his pegs to go with them too. I love the troops, but they’re chromo, joysticks are aluminum. People say the 6160 bends/breaks/dents then you can’t remove the wheel. Ever have this issue?

Stolen silencer peg are good pegs and the sleeper pegs, I swear by the fiend SCM pegs could you do a wear test on the etnies Michelin soles and the vans bmx soles to see who is most durable 👍🚲💨
@pssdstrer50732 жыл бұрын
That’s doesn’t need testing vans soles are much weaker than etnies Michelin soles. I’d go through 3/4 pairs of vans during walking and riding and only 1 pair of Etnies. However vans had better grip on every pedal. Depends of what you are looking for. Durability = Etnies. Grip = Vans.
@danscompvideos2 жыл бұрын
Great idea. There's actually an Etnies Michelin review in the works, but I don't have any experience with the new Vans wafflecup BMX shoe. Maybe we can make that happen...

Pretty interesting Ethan said he designed the Sleeper peg to combine his favorite elements of other pegs he’s tried. Seems like that shows in this test that it’s one of the best all around pegs.

@@danmcdonald726 Starting out you can't go wrong with a chromoly peg. They are still widely used and cost less in the long run. Plus, you won't have to worry about replacing plastic sleeves as chromoly will last you years. "Plastic" pegs tend to slide better on most surfaces without needing to add as much wax, but they wear out faster. Both a great its just depends on what's more important to you. Hope that helps!
@Bmxicano2 Жыл бұрын
Go with metal pegs. Grinds sound much cooler, all you gotta do to slide longer is go faster, and that will always make a trick look better. Also sparks on concrete at night 👍🏻
