Quamen Bikes by Alex Caps

There are a few defining differences between flatlanders and just about any other type of riding.  When asked what makes a flatlander different, some people think its balance, others think it’s the desire to ride alone.  Well the fact of the matter is, flatlanders are the only type of riders who spend more time on their pegs than pedal, if they have pedals at all.  With flatlanders spending so much time on their pegs, they want to ensure the peg is comfortable yet grippy.  Pivotable yet easy on the hands.  And who could forget, light weight, strong, and inexpensive.  Well up until now, I have not found a peg which could match all these desires and more.

The Quamen Stabilizer Pegs are a perfect fit for most riders.  They grip amazing well, even in pouring rain.  Although not the most comfortable grip, they don’t hurt your hands or cut them up.  The pegs have a nice smooth end which makes pivoting easier, and they come in 3/8’’ axle slots.  These pegs have been bashed and banged and the only evidence are the pieces of blacktop which have been chipped away. They are 4.5’’ long and 1.65’’ in diameter, CNC’d from a block of Aluminum unlike weaker cast pegs.  These pegs are 100% American made from a company who truly represents flatland, Quamen Bikes.  They have a unique drill setup which saves weight, adds grip, and makes them look amazing.  They weigh in at a mere 165 grams each and will be available at FlatlandFuel.com soon.  Check them out as well as other Quamen flatland parts in their new transformer series.
