has anyone given plastics a decent run? which brand holds up?
sans.terre:
Hey guys sorry for another plastic thread.
seemed like earlier noone had really run them long enough to know for sure.
what do you guys think? has anyone tried out a few brands?
hows the buttchers? thanks.
dude...:
i got a cult one cos it was the cheapest and came with an extra sleeve. its on front left though which is my least used peg so its barely been touched.
most of them are pretty similar i reckon so probs go with whichever the cheapest one with a full length inner is, and/or you can get spares for.
from what ive seen, they dont last that long on the back if youre a heavy grinder. if you only grind skatepark coping, any should last a good while, depends how you ride really

im by no means a crazy go for broke unwaxed feebs grinder.
cult butter, eh?
im curious - i just dropped hella quid on some s&m steel guards which i would like to keep running...cause they're dope.
it seems like butters are the narrowest diameter, too. i'm thinking that if i throws on a thicker peg its going to create a lip.
maybe someone has experience here?
(plastics w/ s&m guards)
trying to figure out which peg will make a flush seam without lip.
how is it running steel guards wit plastics? in theory it will be dope, lock into steel guards on rails and slide on the plastic ends for ledges.
maybe my numbers are off, tho. might just be super unpredictable, or make no difference at all. haha.
anyone know how this goes?

Plegs man.
They hold up great, and replacment sleeves are slightly more expensive than a pack of cigs.
I'm all about plastics because (1) They are slicker than greased moose poop on about everything (however, the Plegs at least wear pretty quick on unwaxed concrete) (2) they are lighter, if you care about that (3) they hurt less if you get hit by one (4) skateparks are more likely to let you ride with them, and skaters talk less shit and finally (4) I'm getting older, and I personally don't want to damage the shit I ride.

i think 2 thick 4 me?
also, lol, i cant stand the 3/4th inner piece.
but yeah, mang. so dope.stealth ass ninja assasin.
wit steel guards for hessian sound effects
