Unless you've been living under a rock for the last two years, chances are likely that you already know a lot about the PLEGS. To sum it up, they are simple, cheap, light and STRUCTURAL plastic pegs. They aren't magic. They won’t pull the chicks in or make you invincible...
Another product we showed at Interbike was our new spokes and taper hex nipples for 2008...
This is the new Ratchet Hub, launching early in 2008... hopefully...
If you haven't already seen it, there is a progress update about the Plegs over at the Odyssey site. Stop by to see where we are and what the testers of the Plegs have to say about them.
It's finally here. The answer to ALL your hopes and dreams. The new smaller, lighter GLAND with bigger cable-tie-holes and BOBBLES!
Because GLANDs fix to, (and rotate with) the wheel they can use the very spokes they protect to help support them. This also means that they dont effect the dropout spacing or put any load on your hub axle. And because they are plastic they slide faster and are lighter too.
The BOBBLES! help to take some of the load off the cable-ties and keep the GLAND central, whilst still allowing the guard to fit virtually any hub, with any lacing pattern, front or rear.
And at just $11 they are probably the cheapest as well.
These have actually been available in Australia and some other countries for a while, but they are now in the Odyssey warehouse ready to ship to distributors, so North Americans should be able to satisfy their needs within a few weeks, and the rest of the world wont be far behind...
