Everything nowadays has to be light, BMX companies making porky parts have had to trim the fat more and more the last few years because nobody will touch them. We probably have the reputation as being the biggest weight weanies in the cycling world, even more than the spandex clad dudes or carbon roadbikes, thats bad. Oh well enough making fun of the gram counters, but keeping with tradition here's a way to shave some heft off your ride. Primo has made the Jewels for a while, I've always thought they were cool, but I could only ever find them for 3/8" axles, I have 14mm front and rear so I was out of luck. For those of you who aren't familiar with them the Jewels are basically socket with the ratchet end, but the six or twelve point end that you would normally put on you axle nut is threaded, so you use that instead of the axle nut. I know a lot of us already took our pegs off, depending on where and how you ride you might not even need them, but these guys will at least cover the ends of your axle if you havent already cut them off. I've seen a few people with homemade versions of the Jewels before for 14mm axles, so i definitely can't take the credit, but I didn't have a machine shop to make mine so I had to think of something else. What I did was take a regular 14mm axle nut, a regular 19mm socket (sometimes they're 17mm) that you would use to remove it, and JB Welded them together. JB Weld is crazy, they've use it to fix cracked engine blocks to give you and idea of what it is capable of, so be careful with it. So far my homemade axle nut peg things work great, and they've held up after a bunch of sessions with no sign of coming apart. So there you go, one more way to make you bike lighter without completely sacrafice you pegs, just mostly sacrafice.
