Title: Haro pegs – is there lighter types?
Post by: Stevo on November 14, 2007, 09:21 PM

Guys, I run standard Haro pegs on the Sport 06 re-issue, I would like to know if there are lighter types such as Odyssey, Macneil, Terrible?

I am trying to reduce the weight of the bike. Cheers

just about any pegs are lighter than haro ones.

the ones that came on my 05 mirra were like scaffold tubes...lol

i run a set of eastern ramp pegs and a set of standard industrial lites, 400 grams a pair, only 40g heavier than some ti pegs and about 200g lighter that the ones you have, wont break the bank like ti either, about 16 quid for a pair!

I run a set of Tree Lite alloy pegs, fine for park use, come in at 195g for the pair.  Do cost £20 each though.

I'm running a set of Hoffman SPC Aluminium Pegs here without the Optional Plastic Sleeves...

Weighing in at 155g for the pair.

Retail at £14 for two, although they're maybe a bit delicate for peg bonks and the like, but generally okay for park use.

Cheers again lads. Spoilt for choice now.  :D

Gonna see what my local BMX shop has in stock, I think they will have Hoffman.

What about DB ones from Halfords – are they hefty?  ???

Cheers

Brands to look for are Eastern, Odyssey, Shadow Conspiracy, etc.  The DB ones are similar to what you already have.

I've got a pair of brand new Macneil CroMo pegs here. They're not so heavy.  I'd need to check the sizes for you though. Going cheap......  ;)
