The Bike Shop / Re: has anyone given plastics a decent run? which brand holds up?

« on: January 14, 2015, 08:26:18 PM »

i've been running plastic pegs since about june 2014.  i bought a set of 4 primo binary plastics, like 4.25 long, i know they make 4.5 long pegs which i regret not buying but they weren't available at the time.  they come with an extra sleeve per peg.  since i bought the pegs, i haven't broken or cracked a sleeve, which is always a good thing because i pretty much spend the majority of my time riding grinding stuff.  i have yet to wear through the plastic and get to the aluminum core, but i do rotate my pegs putting my backs in the front and the fronts in the back.  so i've successfully owned a set of 4 plastic pegs and by rotating them maybe 3 times i've had them last over 6 months.  hopefully this helps.  i'm thinking about ordering another set of 4 sleeves and replacing my current sleeves in the next month or two.

i've been riding in nike janoski's for the past 2 years, between mids and the regular lows, they've been the best shoes i've had.  I wore out the heels of a pair though but they lasted me from march to october. I did spend a lot of time riding around cities like LA and long beach for about 4 weeks total so that definitely killed the heels.  I would reccomend them to anybody who's not into wearing flat ass vans.
