CARBON FIBRE TENT PEGS

CARBON FIBRE TENT PEGS – ULTRA LIGHT AND COMPACT

For your OUTDOOR adventures, whether cycling or walking, saving space and weight makes all the difference in terms of OVERALL COMFORT.

If you are travelling fully or semi-autonomously, there is a lot of equipment to carry even after a careful MINIMALIST selection, so taking care of every item that will be strictly useful to you will allow you to save several kilos, which is no small thing!

The idea of making these carbon fibre tent pegs to go with ultralight tents comes from this philosophy, REDUCE WEIGHT and VOLUME through design choices and selection of high quality materials and components.

The NBP carbon fibre stake is lighter than titanium tent pegs and aluminium pegs.

The number of pegs you can find in most ULTRALIGHT camping tents varies from 10 -16 depending on whether it is a self-supporting tent or not. Considering that the weight of an aluminium or titanium peg is 10 g, the weight saving by using NBP PEGS will vary from a minimum of 60 g up to a good 96 g.

This comparison was made taking into account the most common V-section and rectangular pegs used in ultra-light and compact tents.

If you plan to choose a tunnel tent such as the CAMP MINIMA TENT, which is lightweight, compact and equipped with 16 V-section stakes, you will save a good 96 g.

The rectangular cross-section results in a volume saving of 40 % when compared to V-section pegs; this figure rises still further for Y-shaped or round pegs with a hook head.

Another special feature of the NBP carbon fibre pegs is their length of only 13 cm, which we consider to be amply sufficient for the terrain you will encounter most often. There is no point in leaving pegs protruding several centimetres from the ground because you will not be able to drive them all the way through due to compact, stony ground. The pegs you find on the market, which are mainly of Asian origin, are 15 cm long.

NEWBIKEPRODUCTS loves details and MULTIFUNCTION products, so even a “simple peg” has been given the possibility to PULL SPOKES thanks to the study of the shape of its head, allowing the spokes to be tightened or loosened very easily by exploiting the “leverage effect” of the peg.

The NBP peg allows you to tighten 3.3 mm nipples, which is the most common size on recent MTB or GRAVEL wheels, without the need for pliers or specific keys.

This detail will surely be appreciated by travellers and adventurers on MTB or GRAVEL bikes.
