Bmxcity had some a while back I think, I can't remember them being about in '93 though?

be prepared to double the weight of your bike ed lol.

ED209 · « **Reply #11 on:** December 06, 2012, 01:46 PM »

LOL Dave ... its going on my WAL so makes no odds .... thought they might have been Backyard Yardstix but the crisscross pattern is too wide.

pickle · « **Reply #12 on:** December 06, 2012, 01:47 PM »

I managed to get that pair in the picture off the guy selling them ... £6 postage! WTF ... they must weigh as much as a brick.

pickle · « **Reply #14 on:** December 06, 2012, 01:50 PM »

yeah....i had a full set on my old Ground master and it trippled the bikes weight!

skidmark · « **Reply #15 on:** December 06, 2012, 01:52 PM »

Yes Ed, mine are Backyard Yardstix. The Stogies came both tapered and straight, probably tapered to fit on forks as they're pretty chunky.

midschooljon · « **Reply #16 on:** December 06, 2012, 06:50 PM »

Those pegs arent Primo Stogies. Stogies only came out in 96 or 97 so its highly unlikely they could appear on the cover of a mag in 93. That pic is very small so hard to say for sure, but I suspect the pegs on that bike are in fact Standard grenades. They seem to have the same proportions as grenades, as well as the same number of grooves etc.

On that mag they look like grenades up front, can't see whats on the rear (they could be the Standard ribbed pegs - these don't have crossed grooving tho)

I had a set of Yardstix (bought from Backyard) in '93 (that are almost identical to the pegs in Ed's first pic), and I remember my mate bought a pair of Primos about 6 months later (that weren't Tube Stakes) that were almost identical bar the rings didn't go all the way to the end of the peg - they had a blank area the same as Ed's first piccy at the peg end. I remember 'cos I'm a tighter than a ducks arse Yorkshireman, and his pegs cost him £2 less

any help?

Dannywhac · « **Reply #19 on:** December 06, 2012, 10:52 PM »

I'm on me phone at the mo Ed, will have a proper butchers tomoz, but they look like Yardstix's to me

Definitely not Grenades or Stogies. They also look too short to be yard sticks. Why don't you just mail the pic to Ron and ask him?

ED209 · « **Reply #21 on:** December 07, 2012, 06:40 AM »

'CAUSE WE IS HAVING SO MUCH FUN JON!

anyway - think Ron only made the Damage pegs ... its not them ...

midschooljon · « **Reply #22 on:** December 07, 2012, 07:50 AM »

Haha Ed. I'm too impatient with stuff like this. I just want to know right away.

Damage pegs are awesome. Wish I had started my WAL build 6 months before I did. Ron still had stock of all this stuff then and was letting it go for nothing. Unsurprisingly it's all been snapped up and stashed away.

I wish you had too! ... then my WAL obsession would have peaked earlier and I could have scooped some as well

ED209 · « **Reply #24 on:** December 07, 2012, 08:08 AM »

... I guess I could just send Howard Radcliffe a message and ask him if he remembers
