guys Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 I have the same boots and got the same problem within a few months. I have s3 foot pegs and reckon they are the likely culprit. Hope this helps What type of S3 footpegs do you have? Because I've ordered these and hope they don cause the same problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ftp Posted January 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 (edited) They dont look like the hardrocks I had on the old bike In fact looking at that footpeg I am not sure they were either , although the box was cos I still have it.

crazybond700 Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 (edited) Could be a change during years. My boots look kind of the same (hebo's), but after many many years. I just use the standard pegs. Edited January 16, 2016 by crazybond700 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are different models of S3 Hardrock foot pegs. http://www.s3parts.com/product_trial.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine are the ones with the Alan key studs not these you have ordered. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dav cc Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 In fact those you've ordered look like they would be a better bet for preservation of the boots :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guys Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 In fact those you've ordered look like they would be a better bet for preservation of the boots :-) The main reason I ordered these, is because they have a 10mm set back, so the front of the pegs, is at the same distance as the narrower ones I got now on my Bultaco. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heffergm Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 (edited) I've had two pairs of Gaerne oiled boots. I ride ~100 hours a season. The soles on mine looked worse than yours after a single season. The Gaerne's are very soft, and there's no way around that. I ended up moving to Alpinestars for that reason. They're not as comfortable, but they're not bad, and your position on the pegs, and therefore the bike, is very different and will take some getting used to. You stand a lot higher as the soles don't bend anywhere near as much (or at all compared to the Gaerne's).

guys Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 I've got both gaernes and Alpinestars and indeed, it takes some getting used to the higher stance of the Alpinestars, especially when they're new. I think that's one of the reasons, the top guys have different soles on their Alpinestars, especially those of Bou looked exactly like soft gaerne soles . It's a always compromise between durability and flexibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
