3/8" vs. 10mm - same thing?
« on: October 17, 2011, 10:49:35 AM »
Hi,


Apologies if this has been answered before, but I was just about to purchase some pegs (Tree Balsa) and notice that on some sites they are specified as being for 3/8" axles (flatlandfuel) and some specify 10mm (kunstform).


Are these sizes actually the same thing and I am having metric/imperial system issues?



If they are NOT the same, anyone have these pegs and know definitively what size axle they are for?


Cheers!

It's the same size. 3/8 is in inch and and its 10mm.

In grown up bikes they use 10mm.  BMX says 3/8".  Makes no difference until you grab the wrong axle nut.
