Always tread unkown corners lightly. You'll never know if there's sand,gravel, oil to greet your tires with a smile. You must of been pretty low to grind the pegs. I've heard of people sanding them down but I'm not sure if any more angle past the peg protectors reaches a critical point in traction for the tires. I might be wrong but good thing you're ok!
