Title: Sneak Peak: Ares Blade Stem and Ucchie Pegs
Post by: Mr News Bot on July 02, 2013, 01:18:32 PM

Ares is working on two new products and they release a little sneak peek today. Above you can see the Blade Stem which was designed by Kotaro Arai and Ucchie's signature pegs.

Neat looking new parts. We're looking forward to some more details.

The Ucchie pegs are PERFECT! I have been working on a design over the past few weeks & when i saw the Ucchie peg i didn't know whether to be angry, disappointed, stoked, excited or what haha. They are pretty much my exact design without one really, really small feature! I am totally getting these pegs! I sent Ares an Email & Ucchie a message on Facebook saying thank you for saving me a sh*t load of Time, Effort & Money trying to get my pegs made! Now i can just buy these! Quality!

The Ucchie pegs are PERFECT!
Quality!

 
hummm,
on paper they seem good, and about "quality" you will know that after use..
But when I read the Uchie's comment: the peg is similar to the A Bad Thing peg (http://www.flatmattersonline.com/yohei-uchino-ares-bykes-signature-peg)
I first doubt a little bit about that "quality" on paper ;
read the  2. "second reason" on that post:

Interesting Revig, Unless Ares have used higher quality materials i am wondering whether i should use these pegs now. :/ Hmmm.. I guess i could drill out the end cap so i could get a ratchet extension inside it to get the peg off but that's an annoying modification especially when there are plenty of other pegs out there i could run with no modifications at all :/ F.F.S haha.
