New glands
Bunky:
Seriously, these are so awesome looking.
When do they come out? Shut up and take my money!

Man, maybe its just the picture but those slots for the zapstraps/shoelace dont look deep enough. It looks like theyre going to be a part of the grinding surface, rather than sunk away from it. I know theyre not static and move with the wheel, but a couple good hits on a ledge is going to shred/break the shoelace/ziptie.

G-Sport and BSD..
I could never ride plastic pegs consistantly, the two that I've had were nearly fucked after less than a week.

My BSD guards have always slid like butter, but I guess i understand about the pegs, as Ive definitely killed a plastic peg in a single ledge sesh before.

Getting ready to order some jc/pc halves and may grab some mkIIIs to hold me over.

They are very close to production, just ironing out production stuff. Should be in stores mid-late spring time I would guess.

The cable ties are inset so they are flush but yes they DO form part of the grind surface, this means that the grind surface is smoother and there is less chance of catching which is what really stresses things. However, it isn't like there is any weight on the grind surface like there is on a peg. They should last a very long time and obviously they are replaceable. They have held up really well in testing and nobody has ground through one yet enough to break a tie.
