Adding anti-spin bolts to bmx pegs

Another old article i wrote that i found..

This is a fairly easy project to do.

the bolts i used:
HILLMAN
M6-1.00 x 20
Socket Hd Cap Screw
Class 12.9

and the ones i found were black,and were metric. but you can use whatever you prefer.

here's the steps.

1.remove the peg and turn it upside down on a level surface.

2.place your axle nut on the peg and position it so it's lined up with the hole for the axle.

3.place your drill bit as close as your can to the edge of the axle nut. make sure the drill bit won't drill off any of the axle nut! ALSO make sure that the drill bit is just slightly smaller in diameter than the bolt your using!

4.drill slowly at first,applying just a little downward pressure. once you have a small hole started,drill at a faster speed and apply just a little more downward pressure.

5.as you get close to having drilled halfway through the sidewall of the peg,slow your drill speed a little and be very carefull because at this point there is the possibility that your drill bit will jam and the peg and/or drill will twist slightly out of control.

6.once you have drill all the way through the sidewall,take your anti-spin bolt and place it over the hole and hit it lightly with a hammer to get it in partially. once it's in enough to hold,carefully start hitting it hard as you can with the hammer. but make sure to hit it straight on the head,and don't hit your fingers!

7.by now the head of the bolt should be flush with the sidewall of your peg. congratulations,you now have anti-spin bolts.
