has anyone given plastics a decent run? which brand holds up?
JFax:
I have had a couple of plastic pegs in my Days, but mostly odd versions you probably wont consider...
I had the plegs V.1. and while I felt that they lasted OK at best I felt that they were too slow on most materials. I also had the Primo pegs but felt that they were way too short and have since moved on to the Animals.
The Butchers long are good in my opinion, maybe wear a bit quickly, but ok. I understand that you want thin pegs, but you should also consider that it might limit the life span of your pegs considerably. In general a large contact area is preferable for your plastic pegs to avoid rapid wear. so a thick plastic peg would not wear in such a long time.
If you still insist on small diameter plastic pegs I would just get the Stolen thermolites or similar knock-offs. Myself and a lot of my friends have ridden knock-offs from random normal bike stores that sell them for nothing and they work well.

hrm. true, but i think with the cults and federals they've made the chromo core smaller? maybe im mistaken.
i would love to run animal, cuz animal makes me feel alright with the choices ive made in my life, but with the sleeve its going to have a lip :(
i'm open to off brands. :) i'll check out the stolens, thanks for your time.
edit: also, i kind of solved my own dilemma in this thread. haha.
looking for a 35mm (w/sleeve) 4.5" combo, w/ full length chromo core.
sans.terre:

Man, I thought I was the only one!
I really just want to ride and do the same tricks and stuff without marking things up as bad. That way if the cops show up, it's less likely I'll get in trouble or go to jail.
