They look like they should last a bit longer than a normal peg though, that stainless insert, if it doesnt fall off should drastically lengthen thier life.

i'm running an older version of these pegs. they are great and have no problem with them. cant wait to wear them off and buy the new ones. i bought the older pegs for $80 so i don't care if they cost $100. the price is ok. they are made in the czech republic (europe) so i think the price went up because of the shipping to the usa.

never!  just rediculous!  They're made in the Czech Republic, where manufacturing costs are extremely low, so I really cant see how the price is justified

I am Czech and I've had my pegs and handlebars made locally. However I can't see how the manufacturing here can be cheaper than in Taiwan or so.

Do you know any particular example of a BMX part made here and in any other country where the BMX parts are produced? Let me know, I'd like to know how much less I could have paid for my custom parts. Thanks!

P.S.: I have nothing to do with Dominik's company.

Remember, grammar is the difference between "I helped my uncle Jack off a horse", and "I helped my uncle jack off a horse".

I just started getting into flatland stuff about 3 days ago and suck so far, I blame my sh*tty bike and lack of practice.
