Pivot Pegs

Wicitup,
I don't have any on my current bike, but I will as soon as I scrape up the cash. I bought the Power pegz which are the same thing only don't spring back to center. I guess the spring isn't that great on the pivot pegz. I had the power pegs on my last bike and loved them. I sold that bike to my friend and now he's addicted to them also.

I use them on my bike and really like them. I think I have broken 1 spring but that was before they improved it. I always have a full rebuild kit on hand to to be safe.
Took no time to adapt to them and if your tall you may like them even more since your knee and ankle angles are tighter and these make it more comfy and less tiring. After using these Pivot Pegs I got on my buddies bike with the Fastway pegs and just hated those. Couldn't get my boot from catching from the front edge of his pegs.
The one thing I found is they pack with mud easier but not to the point of being a problem. Build quality is beautiful also. I got mine through Marty at Brap Off Road. Super nice guy to deal with.

Yeah, yeah...........it was slick out there.
I'm really happy with the Pivot Pegz.
I can feel the bike pivoting under them, kinda like bicycle pegs.
I never thought of them that way. I just pictured them following what your foot does, not the bike. So...they only pivot so far. Do you get a hit to your feet when they reach their stops ?

The pegs can be totally rebuilt. Buy the complete rebuild kit, it's the best deal and you will have everything you need in case of a problem. I'm sure some of the stuff could be found locally like the o-rings, lock nuts and maybe even the bushings but I haven't tried as of yet. No need.
I never feel the pegs bottom out on their stops. It took no time to adapt to them and then you really don't even notice or think about them.....until you ride someone elses bike for awhile.

Two things I noticed about the Pivot Pegz:
1) The brake pedal is always at the right height, your boot just pivots into the right position.
2) Shifting is easier. Like the brake side, your boot pivots to shift. The front of the peg lowers to allow your boot to upshift.
With conventional pegs, your boot actually raises up on the front of the peg.

They just seem to feel more comfortable is the best way I can describe them. Everything seems just a little easier - braking, gear changing, moving your weight. You don't really feel them moving directly.
