charliechitlins Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 I just saw them on RYP website. Are they the wave of the future, or will they go the way of hexagonal grips? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfwilson Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 (edited) Charlie, I think that they are a great idea for MX and Enduro. For trials I think they would suck especially when you have your feet out on the end of the pegs in a full lock turn. I think it would tend to pitch your foot off the peg.

nigel dabster Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Had a similar thing in football over here Alan Ball boots with swivel disc thing, withdrawn after a few knee injuries I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dixie Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 They work fine on a push bike. I have wondered about trying them myself. on one of the scorpa websites there is a new little stunt bike comming out ,that looks like it has pushbike pedals the motorcycle ones look to be sprung to the centre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neonsurge Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 I saw these Pivotpegz at the Stoneleigh show last year. I'd like to give them a try, but Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toofasttim Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 will they go the way of hexagonal grips? Charlie, you're showing your age now. So am I. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hrc2002 Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 Nooo, I personally would never use them for 3 reasons; 1. I like the 'stability' of the usual pegs and the locked to position feeling they give...My feet move, not the pegs. 2. 'Pivot' can mean break...I mean, whats in them? Roller bearings? On the slightest drop of the bike its your pegs f****d, they wont last too long before they seize up, surely? 3. Way too over priced, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfwilson Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 I don't think he is endorsing them for trials. The picture is of an enduro bike and he sells the Sherco enduro bike. DW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

o.a.s motorcycles Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 I think they could be onto a good thing there! coulde really help with getting your weight over the rear as long as the don't alter the geometry of your bike and if they always return back to a level position Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
