has anyone given plastics a decent run? which brand holds up?
dude...:
i wouldnt worry too much about getting them flush to start with cos as soon as you start grinding them and wearing them down, they will get flatspots and then they wont be flush anymore and your dropouts and hubguards might snag. better off going with a slightly larger diameter to allow for them wearing down

THIS ^^^^^ is why i keep you guys around!!!!!! your foreskin amazes me.
...foresight, i mean!
so, i think eclat venom is a good median. 38 being pretty dece? 3mm to wear it down even? should about do it...
dude...:
my foreskin amazes me as well.
to be honest id try match the diameter of the inner of the peg to your hub guard, or have it only slightly smaller. depends if youre going to be on top of rotating the sleeves or just wait til theyve ground through to spin them around

i've been running plastic pegs since about june 2014. i bought a set of 4 primo binary plastics, like 4.25 long, i know they make 4.5 long pegs which i regret not buying but they weren't available at the time. they come with an extra sleeve per peg. since i bought the pegs, i haven't broken or cracked a sleeve, which is always a good thing because i pretty much spend the majority of my time riding grinding stuff. i have yet to wear through the plastic and get to the aluminum core, but i do rotate my pegs putting my backs in the front and the fronts in the back. so i've successfully owned a set of 4 plastic pegs and by rotating them maybe 3 times i've had them last over 6 months. hopefully this helps. i'm thinking about ordering another set of 4 sleeves and replacing my current sleeves in the next month or two.

man. maybe i should just get a different hub guard. lol.
that grinding down thing just ruined my whole days work.
