Kink Lite Pegs

Kink Lite Pegs:

I've had these for over a year now and they're still going strong. I hardly ever ride skateparks, so the only wear that they get is on real street (man, I'm so raw!). Before these, I had a set of Snafu pegs that were soft as hell, and wore through ridiculously fast. The Kink pegs, however, have been given an even harsher seeing to and are still right as rain.

I'm not sure what grade of chromoly they are made of, but it must be hard as hell because (unlike the soft Snafu's) they grind super fast and seem to last for ages. If you're after specs - they're four inches long, weigh 0.92lbs a pair and they're tapered on the inside to make them lighter (30% lighter than their OG pegs, apparently).

I've heard tales of these cracking (due to the thinner walls), but I've never had any problems with them, be warned, though. In the end, I suppose it all comes down to preference - you could go for heavier pegs, which will probably out live you, or the 'Lites, which aren't as strong, or thick, but are nice and light, so your bike won't feel as much like a tank.

Kink Lites and Animal Lites are the only pegs that I would ever buy.
