What Are The Best BMX Steel Pegs?

After doing a ton of research, testing and talking to dozens of riders, my all-time-best metal BMX peg recommendation is the Shadow Little Ones peg.

But if you would like to purchase pegs in pairs, then go with Odyssey MPEGs.

What To Look For When Buying BMX Metal Pegs?

You need to pay close attention to two key factors when choosing the best steel pegs for your BMX bike.

  • Weight: Some BMX brands sell pegs in pairs, so that’s why the weight may be surprisingly high. I advise checking the peg description/features twice to ensure the weight is for a single peg or a pair. Also, I wouldn’t bother too much about weight when it comes to steel pegs – they’re generally just a lot heavier and will also last you a lot longer than BMX plastic pegs.
  • Price: Similarly to weight, because some pegs are sold in pairs, the price will be much higher than the rest. But once you see it’s for a pair and you do the calculation, yup, it can actually be a lot cheaper.

FAQs About BMX Pegs

What pegs are best for a BMX?

It depends on the style of riding you do. Heavy street riding requires metal or plastic pegs. Skatepark riders prefer plastic pegs or light steel or alloy pegs. Flatland riders opt for aluminum or plastic pegs (with ridges).

Are all BMX pegs the same?

No, three types of BMX pegs are available: metal, alloy and plastic.

Are BMX pegs universal?

Yes, BMX pegs are universal, offering two options: 14mm axle for rear BMX hubs and 10mm axle for front BMX hubs.

But you can also check my full guide on whether BMX pegs being universal or not.

What side do BMX pegs go on?

There’s no one-rule-fits-them-all when choosing the right side for your pegs. But in general, if you’re right foot forward, your dominant grind side will be on the right and vice versa. But you can also ride all four pegs or two in the front and one in the back.

Can you stand on BMX pegs?

Yes, any type of BMX peg is strong enough to hold you if you want to stand on it.

Can BMX pegs be installed on any BMX bike?

Most BMX bikes can accommodate pegs, but it’s important to check your bike’s axle diameter (10mm or 14mm) for compatibility.

Are BMX pegs heavy & do they affect riding?

BMX pegs do add some weight to the bike, but they’re generally designed to be lightweight. While they can slightly affect handling, many riders adapt quickly and enjoy the new trick possibilities.

How do I choose the right BMX pegs for my bike?

Consider the material (steel or aluminum for durability or weight), length (for the type of tricks you want to perform – crooked grinds are easier with longer pegs), and diameter (to fit your bike’s axles).
