Grinding

[The-flying-banana]

Tried this for the first time on thursaday and found it quite easy was doing rear peg grinds , front and rear and also some crank grinds! it did,nt feck me bike but my chain kept coming lose

Was only doing them on some 3 feet ramps so nothing too dangerous yet

just wait till you try a feeble & the back end slides out....

[Geth]

Or wait until you forget to put your pegs on one day and go flat out into a 50/50 grind on the mini.
I've done it!
It hurt.

McNeil pegs are good. They're full cromo but still light. Been using them for a long time now.
The half & half cromo/alloy pegs tend to spin after a while.
Ti pegs just don't slide very well. Good for stall tricks but not so good for actually grinding. (AND fecking expensive!)

Try and get a tensioner that your rear peg can lock into to stop movement.

Cheers Geth, I am going over to Cyclesport this week so will take a look

well ive been through 3 sets of pegs really:

first up odyssey jpegs: slide well, last forever but very heavy.

secondly t1 pegs: great in park, very light, wear out quick riding street.

shadow conspricy lean pegs: light, strong, slide well , fairly short but work a treat

My second attempt i managed to peg a fourteen foot quater and also a wobbly febble but i keep taking my foot off i think i will have to tape them to the pedals

Also i have proper fecked me chain its all bent outa shape dont think i should crank gring with an izumi  well it was the only chain that was,nt giving me noise with my 10/28 gearing

[TwoBobRob]

You've done a stall and and feeble grind on a 14ft quarterpipe?  On your second attempt?

Respect to you my friend

started practicing grinds but my foot comes off automaticl aswell its anoyin

[lushbmx]

i run 2 shadow mean pegs up front and an animal light on my rear right cos it slides like hell when i do feebal grinds down brick, demolition numb cuck on the rear left cos it saves abit of weight...

best pegs to get really are the animal light ones or the FBM ones both last long not 2 heavy and slide very welll....


and heres a photo of the animal pegs in action... stu clark on the olympic ledge febuary 05 on our first visit to barcalona!
