Demolition pegs
Do you guys know if these are good compared to the Plegs? I really want some good pegs and Plegs seem good, but I have no idea when they're coming out. So tell me if I should get the Demolition pegs, or wait and get Plegs when they come out.

I really wouldn't buy anything Colony as of right now- especially pegs that weigh under 4 ounces each. Wait for the Plegs, they should be out soon. I've been waiting for over a year for them now.

Wait for Plegs. I've got Dumbchucks. Picked them up a few years ago when a local cement park opened & required no pegs or plastic pegs.
I used them just for that park & then went pegless for a year or two. Put them back on last year just to see how they'd work (and to give skaters one less thing to whine about).
They slide good & fast, but wear down fast as well. Especially if you do ANY concrete/rough ledge w/ them. This leaves aluminum bare spots which don't slide as fast.
Also, because of the plastic, they have a tendency to slide forward w/ the axle. Didn't have that prob w/ metal pegs & had to go back to using a tensioner. Don't know if this will be an issue w/ Plegs though.
I'll probably switch to Plegs when they come out.
It should be noted that I don't grind alot. Mosty ramp coping at that. If you grind alot, I figure you'll probably wear through them fast.

Colony is pretty much the worst company in BMX right now. I can't think of a single product they make that doesn't want me want to take a sledgehammer to someone's skull.
