The latest addition to the G-Sport Pleg family are clear and translucently colored plegs. Built using a variant of the original proprietary plastic compound, these see through versions have been known to slide fast on notoriously rough surfaces and copings and rails and anything you can throw at them. These clears Plegs outperform the original compound in both the standardized drop test and the long-term riding tests. The difference is noticeable and significant.
Available with 3/8" or 14mm steel inserts and in clear, yellow, lavender, turquoise and blue colors. These clear sleeves are compatible with the original inserts.

About the flipbook above:
I don’t think anybody guessed Plegs at all in our new shipment post so we’ll start the unveiling with these. They’re shipping now so contact your shops and mail-orders to get your hands on a pair.
I’ve been running the Plegs you sent me without any problems for the last few months. I thought I’d just check in with some feedback…
They’re really hard wearing. I genuinely think they’d last me about 2 years of continuous use on the front… I basically haven’t been rotating my front pleg much just to see how durable they really are. They have worn down loads (see picture) and still haven’t failed. My general riding involves a lot of tricks that are hard on the front peg and I’ve been going out of my way to give it extra abuse when the oppourtunity arises. I’m pretty sure had I worn down an old style pleg in this way, it would have cracked and failed by now, but that’s just from a subjective point of view I guess.
I was lucky enough to ride a bowl with pool coping a while back, the Plegs were absolutely fantastic in that situation. Even the oldest and saltiest skateboarders were stoked on them.
WTF THREAD SHOULLDA BEEN YES/NO 48H RATCHETS OMFG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!VDSFVfdsfkdskf
billy ( May 18th, 2009 at 7:35 pm ):
im gettin em’ in turquoise first day theyre around!!!
Andrew ( May 18th, 2009 at 7:55 pm ):
when/where can i buy these?
Christian ( May 18th, 2009 at 8:53 pm ):
you gotta be shitting me. You’ve got time to unveil a coloured peg which would take lots of time and money to find the perfect blend of plastic to allow them to be clear and coloured, yet it takes years to come out with a hub with a 48 h shell that people have wanted since before the product was out. Priorities mixed up a bit methinks?
john ( May 18th, 2009 at 9:13 pm ):
clear brake pads pleeasee!!
LazelDazel ( May 18th, 2009 at 9:41 pm ):
Shit! I was waiting for 48 Ratchets to come out! AAAGGGGHHHHHH!
Now I can’t ice the Rails Of EL Toro.
George you promised us salvation from the shitty 14mm cone nut cassettes that get mangled everytime riders like me 360 Smith a 3 foot high gnarly concrete ledges.
George, please, 48s Ratchets are more important than colored translucunt plegs. Ship em out shio em out NOW!
LazelDazel ( May 18th, 2009 at 9:47 pm ):
360 Smith a 3 foot high haha I was meaning to say 360 to icepick to smith a handlebar high ledge. Whatever. The importamt thing is you should know your place in helping the riders who manhandle rough gnarly raw street obstacles that would make a park rat pee in their tight pants.
Thanks.

“I don’t think anybody guessed Plegs at all in our new shipment post” – it’s because nobody really needs them. what we need, read above posts
48-H RATCHET: We moved our manufacturing of the Ratchet Hub in December. This move slowed down production, which meant that we had a huge backorder of 36-H hubs. This backorder wait delayed the 48-H hub. We DO have 48-H in stock now, but they need to go through are QC check.
Plegs are plastic, and as such manufacturing is done at an injection molding facility. The Plegs have nothing to do with production of the Ratchet Hub or the “time” that it takes us to devote to either project.
Thanks for your interest and support.
brandon ( May 19th, 2009 at 10:57 am ):
so do these still break if you blow on them hard? ive broke 4 plegs in different ways…
Prozakk ( May 19th, 2009 at 11:00 am ):
Where’s the JCPC’s already????
And a 3/8″ 48h Ratchet???
yo ( May 19th, 2009 at 3:10 pm ):
I wish they had a longer insert so they wouldnt break as easy, but I guess the clear ones wouldnt look as cool.
The clears Plegs outperform the original compound in both the standardized drop test and the long-term riding tests. The difference is noticeable and significant.
However, it’s a different material compound, and therefore it will perform differently on a given surface. In some cases the original Plegs are more suitable and vice-versa.
The clear sleeves are compatible with the original inserts.
Colin ( May 19th, 2009 at 9:30 pm ):
I’ll give these a shot just for the novelty and if they hold up it’ll be a plus
ToastyBagels ( May 19th, 2009 at 10:02 pm ):
“I wish they had a longer insert so they wouldnt break as easy, but I guess the clear ones wouldnt look as cool.”
You can turn one on a lathe using 7075 T6 real easy. It wouldn’t be as heavy as if it was made of (ferrous) steel alloy but it gives you a great sense of security and early warning and safety feature.
Doing icepicks type grinds on a high rail/ledge using the stock inserts when you can clearly feel the polymer peg flexing under load scares the shit outta me everytime…
‘Looking as cool’ shouldn’t be the main concern, then again nowadays kids rather get paralyzed from the head down for the rest of their lives rather than wear ‘uncomfortable and dorky looking’.
helmets… kids are dumb…

john ( May 21st, 2009 at 11:28 am ):
supposedly, the reason odyssey has not come out with a 9t ratchet yet is because they want a quality product that also meets riders’ needs. 9t drivers are famous for breaking under loads due to such tiny bearings and that is why there are much stronger needle bearings in the 9t hazard driver.
shawn robin ( May 21st, 2009 at 8:47 pm ):
these pegs are cool, 48-hole’s are outdated just like alex triple walls, just lace a 36-h correctly and your good to go.
LazelDazel ( May 22nd, 2009 at 5:59 am ):
48s are not outdated. Riders are only getting dumber by the day. The majority of people in this world are dumb. This is just a reflection of that.
The benefits of a rear 48 hole wheel are many and makes perfect sense for ALL types of riding at the expense of 3oz. Riders today are just too dense and thick to realize that and so they spout out mindless nonsense to justify their dismissal of 48s.
“48-hole’s are outdated just like alex triple walls”
Just listen to yourself. Do you realize how insanely stupid and retarded that statement is?

Will these plegs be avaiable on danscomp.com?Also,will they be the same price as the black and white plegs?I was about to get the original plegs,but seeing that these are stronger and lighter,I’d rather wait…
LazelDazel ( May 22nd, 2009 at 10:38 pm ):
Yeah the mirror, I find your post very amusing and funny to see how a dumb person as you exist merely to make an ass out of himself.
Keep spouting idiotic nonsense without a single fact to back it up, because you don’t have enough thought processing ability to write and come up with your own sentence, just merely repeating my post word for word and negating a few, again because you are just too dumb to make your own sentence. This is just the example of the level of inherent stupidity these people are, and they don’t deserve to get better variant of a product.
A simple thought experiment, two suspension bridge with a differing number of cables, one has numrical superiority than the other in the number of cables, each with the same weight and load and everything else being equal,which is better in sustaining load with lesser amount of deflection? Which one has lesser amount of tension per cable? Oh wait a minute, you are too DUMB and STUPID you don’t even have the common sense and thought processing ability of a chimp because you are dumber than a pile of rocks to ever comprehend what it all means.
Come on now what’s your retarded response this time? I bet all you are able to write is mindless dildiotic bable but funny nonetheless. Come on now, you little prick, entertain me with your idiocy.

Hey Odyssey, you guys really should push this technology. Skateboarders and inliners wont talk shit to bikers for fucking up the ledges and ramps with these plastic pegs. every skater trips out on my pegs, and doesnt say shit when hit up the ledges where they used to almost fight me to get me to leave. now the skaters do as much, or more damaged to the ledges as i do. another thing, metal slides like COMPLETE SHIT on ledges! I would rather not have to only skate rails and put my precious nuts in harms way =)
Dave ( May 24th, 2009 at 9:39 pm ):
LazelDazel, do you seriously spend all of your time on forums like this when you could be out riding? It seems that someone making a joke has set you off.
How about instead of bitching about the lack of a 48H Ratchet, you design and build your own hub? Of course you won’t, because that would be the hard thing to do, and might even make your big, heavy, full-of-intelligence brain overload at the sheer complexity of it. You would rather whine until you get your way. I wouldn’t be surprised if you threw a tantrum right now.

Odyssey could make a killing with long 7075 pleg inserts…
Oh wait I’m gonna machine them using the lathe at work and free material and sell em!!!! Muahahaha!
I have had the turquoise plegs for about a month, i broke my back right one on a nose manual to smith (I missed my back wheel and slammed the peg). It cracked right where the steel ends (grinding damage must have weakened it). I recommend to odyssey/gsport that they either have a choice on the length of the steel insert or just make it longer. If the steel filled up the whole peg it would ad weight but it would increase the strength 100%. I still will use them because i have no choice at my local spot (cops). I recommend to others to get this but only if they don’t slam their pegs or do really hard stalls or grinds. other than that it is the hardest, strongest, fastest, and lightest plastic part i have ever had.
