Do you know any peg protector?
« on: December 22, 2017, 11:28:52 PM »

Hi,
I was wondering if some of you know something which you can install on the ends of your pegs similar to plastic bar-ends to protect your pegs?
It doesn't have to be a product, maybe something that's possible to make at home from plastic?
I think its very important because it doesn't only protect your pegs, it also protects your frame and forks since every time your peg hits the ground hard it sends vibrations to all of your frame.
I'll be happy to know if someone has any idea on how to make these kind of protectors.


Thanks and have a great weekend!

Its hard to make round parts without a lathe. You could go to a machine shop to get custom ones or the easier way is to buy pegs with plastic caps already like armour bikes or pegasus bmx.

Thank you Paradoxium, that was very helpful, i'll take that as an option.
I wonder if I could do something homemade or buy to fit my current pegs though...
