Okay, like I said in the title... I've already done a search for some stunt pegs, and I can't find the answers I need... here's my issue.

I've got a Chinese pitbike. And while I know that there will be plenty of "Zomg lolz get a Honda!!1!" responses... I'm hoping someone can help me. I want some stunt pegs.

My rear axle and swimgarm setup isn't the "A" style, as the popular CRF50's, and I've heard (somewhere) that my options might be only using a bicycle's "bmx" style stunt pegs (Which, with such a small rear tire, I could see easily getting in the way unless I can grind them down somehow). How true is this?

I've looked it over pretty well, but I'm not sure what size I would need... and I'm not 100% sure I have enough "room". The bolt is somewhat recessed and there's not just ample amounts of thread on the other side. Does anyone know where I can look into getting a longer axle bolt (if needed)? Will one from a hardware store with similar diameter and thread pattern work (longer, of course)? Or is there a specialty market out there for this?

Thanks much for your time. Included is a picture of my rear axle/swimarm.

Look real close on the rear peg.. Its a 50stunt peg but i have it it grinded a little less than 1/4 inch on top and bottom so its used as a chain adjustment block...

On the other side... how does the chain afjustment still work? Any pictures of that? As you can see, mine's different than the CRF50... as I assume yours will be, but I'm just curious as to how it looks/you did it. Thanks!

It has a bolt on the side of the peg... and it does the same thing the adjustment block does... And this isent a CRF50.. its a an OGM. So you get the basic principle right? You just grind the peg and it replaces your chain adjustment blocks.. its Simple!

You can get a longer axle bolt off of ebay. A 12mm is what a crf50 uses, I would assume yours would be that but could be wrong.

Hmm... very interesting. Just use a grinding wheel or what?
