I run BSD front and rear and they look almost new. Mind you, I am not hard on my bike and ride 99 % bowl and vert.

My rear plastic guard looks brand new but for some reason slows the hub down when its installed even though I cant see it rubbing...
I thus ride only the inner. I switched to the cymbal guard on my freecoaster as using a aluminium one made me have to hire Hulk Hogan each time I had to take the Wheel apart. I had to spread the dropouts out more than [insert any pornstar's name] to make it fit.

Me and a couple of friends. Copenhagen have two great vert ramps!

Most kids/guys ride street though. I absolutely hate street and havent ridden street in a couple of years though...

does that plastic guard hold up? i know a homie had the animal PYN guard and it snapped almost immediately. all brittle and shit.
the primo snap on ones seemed alright.

and yeah - when i had the ratchet i couldn't run the cymbal on it.
i mean, i could - but it wasn't pretty.
tryin'a gape my dropouts like it was belladonna youknowwhatimsayin
I have the BSD, and it seems OK.

I really don't ride a whole ton of street though.  I modtly only grind coping and waxed boxes at parks.

It might not meet your flush requirements but I think the PLEG2 looks like it's had the previous issues ironed out. I actually think I inquired with Ken @ Zodiac about turning out a longer aluminium core for the PLEG1, but it wasn't feasible. Now the ODSY gods have made it so.

was googling "fit wizard sleeve reviews" and came across this gem.

crazy clark, you so crazy...

Vitalbmx Member: crazyclark:"make your own peg sleeves dude. take a soda can and cut off the ends. cut across the can from one end to the other and wrap it snug around the peg. you can cut off the excess soda can or just leave it wrapped around. duct tape the can together and there you go. slides right on and off"

lol. the argument only gets better...

I only heard good things about them. And they are long, another plus.
