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.

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
