eddie_lejeune Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 If you buy a set of raptors they will last you for ever, if you buy a set at 50 odd they won't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mad4it Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Buy some Raptors they last so much longer than any others , are very very strong. I have had mine four years and just been swapping from bike to bike and believe me they have had some stick and they are still not bent twisted or worn out !!

craig10 Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Try out Chris Wrigley (Chewy on here), even his standard ones are well comfy http://trialscontrol.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyl Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Chewy - top product. Wish I had seen this earlier. Had some early control foot pegs on a mid 90s Gas Gas many years ago. My take on footrest and why I dont like raptors, alloy pegs etc is that you need to be able to maintain your footrests and the angle of droop to frame. Idealy footrests need to be angled above horizontal when viewed from front or back of the bike. Otherwise when the bike leans over its very easy for your pegs to be slopping down and basically encouraging your feet to slide off. Yes you can make the points sharp to dig into your boots but much easier to work with gravity. Recently fitted S3/Hebo style footrest and these are nice but need even these needed welding after 3 to 4 events to make sure they are not drooping. As I see no point spending lots of dosh if you aint going to maintainn then correctly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laser1 Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Stay away from the Ti S3's - they are very light duty and easily break. Mine lasted alittle over 1 season. Bought the Raptors and really like how they feel. Much heavier duty as far as I can tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much heavier duty as far as I can tell. totally of opposite opion, raptors cracked on weld after 18 months, replaced with titanium s3 can't fault them. really good grip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axulsuv Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 I'm still well pleased with my Trialscast pegs , they've been on the bike a few years now... Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spottydog25 Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 (edited) I've got Talon Alloys from sammy miller and they are excellent! No terribly cheap unfortunately but worth every penny. Fantastic grip and feel. My feet used to slip off the standard sherco ones quite a lot in the mud and rain. I'm in the Scottish highlands so mud is the standard surface and rain is the standard weather for 10 months of the year! Scott.

motomanandy Posted December 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Thanks for the replys! Ive made a list and put it under the tree for santa If i was buying them i would go for the silver s3 hard rock adjustable pegs from splatshop,they just look great for the price and im sucked in slightly by the adjustable spacers i love messing about with bike settings even if i make it worse!

purplebeast Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 Anyone have any experience with the RYP (Ryan Young) Extra Wide Footpegs- 1/2 back 3/8 lower (https://secure.rypusa.com/prodpage.cfm?cat_selected=116&product_selected=140&startrow=1)? At the Trials Training Centre, Charlie Roberts (the head instructor) had these on his GG. They looked like they would provide a more comfortable platform for your boots, and he said they worked better being lowered and pushed back. The larger pegs sure didn't get in his way in the tight stuff from what I could see. I'm thinking of putting new pegs on my '02 TXT Pro this winter.....either these or maybe the Raptors. Not sure which way to go.... Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
