Hey i ride street and was wondering if its possibble to mount a peg on the drive side of my hope pro II SS? it's only 10mm and if my mind serves me correct most BMX axles are 14mm, though i have seen pictures of MTB's on here with pegs,
any help would be appreciated

you can do it on the single speed pro 2 because of the bolt up axal get in touch with hope and see if you can get a bolt up axal for a normal pro 2

You will break your axle if you mount a peg on your bike and actually start grinding.

There are MTB's nowadays that use BMX hubs, which are 14mm as you said. Most often those are the ones you see with pegs.

You can, of course, get a 3/8 or 10mm peg, it will fit fine, but it would be pointless.

your axle will bend after 2 good hits. even 3/8 on bmx doesn't last unless your really smooth. get a bmx if your gonna grind using pegs. Learn some pedal grinds or buy a 14mm hub widen your dropouts to except a 14mm axle. i don't suggest it at all.

Mind you my peg had a plastic sleeve and only did it for a day, but still. I didn't notice anything.
