Just found this about plegs:
From: Odysseybmx.com/dailword: • They’re available in black and white now, but what else has changed? Thanks to your feedback, our own long-term testing, and a total re-design to the injection tooling, the newest Plegs now feature a thicker cross-section at the end to extend their grinding life, and the sleeve’s plastic compound has been tweaked slightly to also improve on their overall durability. The ringing in our ears from the standardized testing hasn’t stopped. Every batch must pass on our “true-to-life” test rig or it is rejected, and this updated version has been spot-on. Also, if you have the original Pleg hardware, then the newest replacement sleeves will work perfectly.
I remember people had problems fitting original plegs because a regular 17mm socket was real tight in the insert.
I'm happy brakeless / brakes. I need brakes for manuals though. Anyone that can manual / drop in without my brakes gets my respect though.
