Ive got a NORCO 125, with dirt jam forks. the pin that goes through my rear wheel is too thin and too short to hold on my HARO peg. and in the front the damn fork gets in the way, now in the front ill just shave the side a bit, but id like to put them on without going to a single speed.

WHEELIEALEX

dude there has to be a way to do it. everytime i miss a pedal grind , im killin my derailer.

all you gotta do is get the same nut that is used to hold on the crank of a three pecie crank.... they look just like your axle nut, only they are ALOT thinner, replce your normal axle nuts with those and your good to go


your local bik shopshould have a few...

78KingCobra

bad idea. they will strip your axle and you will have to get a whole new axle. just buy cheap pegs that screw on and use them as your nuts.

GundamnitPete

i had'em on my bike for a while and never stripped the threads....

i doubt JUST pegs will hold up

78KingCobra

well, i stripped out an axle on a cistomers bike when they wanted to put training wheels on. it will happen. and putting on just pegs will work fine. its like that on my black mongoose because the pegs i got didn't cover up the nuts.

GundamnitPete

as long as you don't over tighten it, they won't strip out..


and your not doing grinds on your black mongoose so just pegs may hold up to street riding JUST fine, but this dude is grinding and **** on'em...

thanks for the info, i was watching drop-in and one of the guys on there had pegs on his mountain bike too. its for rails and coping. i do lots of stair sets and the rails are always yelling at me to grind them,hahah i need to hit that ****. thanks again for the info . :YEAH

what difference would it make if there is no nut? its jsut like there is extra metal on the nut.

GundamnitPete

nut=has a lock patern


lock pattern= the nut can't shake or vibrate it's self loose

78KingCobra

washers also have lock patterns. thus the reason why my new pegs didn't come off.

MtnBike

im still wonderin how u would put pegs on a mtn bike that has quick release skewers??

78KingCobra

you can't.

GundamnitPete

he's right, you'd need different axles

MtnBike

yes no ****..but a thick bmx axle wouldnt fit in a regular mtn rim....

GundamnitPete

you could go ghetto, and go buy a 3/8th inch thick threaded steel rod, and then take your current axle out (being carefull to keep at the bearings together), transfering everything over onto the rod, and then cutting the rod to length...


yu could have an extra 8 inchs after the nut if you wanted to with this setup

78KingCobra

a 10mm bmx axle is the same 10mm as a mountain bike axle. go to your L.B.S. and ask for a bmx 10mm axle.

GundamnitPete

L.B.S.......that's so gay

78KingCobra

what? you dont know the lingo of the internet?? wow, your in the past.
