Pegs can be purchased in different lengths. The longer the length of the peg, it will allow you to grind more places. This gives the rider more freedom when performing tricks. However, a bigger peg will also mean more weight. This can make it more difficult for riders to perform certain stunts. This is not a bad thing. The size and length of the peg will also affect the riding style.
It is important that the peg chosen by the rider is comfortable. The peg must be comfortable for BMX riders. Some pegs are equipped with an anti-rollpin attached to one side of the wheel.
