The Cult Butter PC peg is a well-respected option among BMX riders who love smooth, consistent grinds.
It features a durable nylon composite sleeve over a heat-treated 4130 chromoly core, making it both strong and slick on rails and ledges.
Sold individually, this plastic peg comes in multiple lengths to cater to different riding styles, ensuring versatility for street and park riders alike.
Pro tip: When riding plastic pegs, waxing the surface helps with sleeve longevity. Rails don’t have to be waxed that much, but ledges do.
Cult Butter PC Peg Review
1. Design & Initial Feel
The Cult Butter PC peg feels solid yet lightweight straight out of the box.
The combination of a chromoly core and a buttery nylon sleeve provides the best of both worlds – strength and smooth grinding performance.
One thing that stands out is the low-profile design, which keeps the peg looking sleek without unnecessary bulk.
But I think adding an extra mm of material to the diameter of the sleeve would make this peg even more epic while still staying slick.
The plastic sleeve is designed to outlast many other PC pegs, making it a cost-effective choice for riders who frequently grind.
Know that these are also available in the light version with the aluminum core but only come in one length – 4.33″.
However, I always tell everyone who comes to me for suggestions to go with the chromo core so they won’t have to worry about breaking the peg.
Plus, if you accidentally grind through the sleeve, you won’t damage the core as much as you would the aluminum core. Trust me, I’ve been there.
2. Butter PC Peg Key Features
- Durable nylon composite sleeve: Slides effortlessly on most surfaces (but again – don’t forget to wax, dude).
- 4130 heat-treated chromoly core: Ensures long-lasting strength and resistance to bending. (If you’ll be doing a lot of gap-to-pegs, going with a chromo core is a must.)
- Available in multiple lengths: 4.0”, 4.5”, and 4.75” to fit different rider preferences.
- 14mm axle with 3/8” adapter: Versatile fit for front and rear wheel sets.
- Lightweight construction: Each peg weighs between 6.0 to 7.0 ounces, depending on the length.
- Replaceable sleeve: Simply swap out the sleeve when worn instead of replacing the entire peg.
Pro tip: Regularly rotate the sleeves to extend their longevity. Don’t be like me, who once totally forgot to rotate, and the rear sleeve lasted me only a week – I was feeble grinding a pretty rough ledge that I didn’t wax enough.
3. How Butter PC Peg Rides
The Cult Butter PC peg lives up to its name – buttery smooth grinds on a variety of surfaces, including rails, ledges, wooden benches, and coping.
The plastic sleeve helps reduce friction, allowing longer, more controlled grinds than metal pegs. And what I like the most about PC pegs is – silence.
Whether you’re double pegging a rail or smith grinding a ledge, this peg keep everything fluid.
Even with heavy use, the sleeves hold up well, but when they do wear out, replacements are available at an affordable cost ($6.99).
The chromoly core ensures durability, meaning the peg itself doesn’t bend or snap under impact.
Some of the pros that ride Cult Butter pegs: Angie Marino, Anthony Panza and Devon Smillie.
