Thought i would try something new to improve my riding while standing, so i got a set of Steg Pegs. Not sure if they will work for me, but if i don't try them, i won't know.
So they're on and ready for testing on the HCR.
I will write up test results next week.

Does this mean if I fit a set to my bike I will not only need to stand but I have to have my legs in the correct position as well???

Stuffed if i know !!!

Darren, if Pete was a true mate he would give you one peg to see if you reckon it helps. Pete's legs are always over the bars? Al

Now ya talkin Sh1t Al, over the shrouds Mate "No higher".

Steg Peg Test Report

Steg pegs have been around for a year or so, so i decided to give them a go on the Fe570 small Bore.The build quality is spot on and the fixing are all stainless, they're made of Aluminium and have rubber rings just like skateboard wheel but thinner, i had no problem with fitting them as they are made bike specific, there is an adjustment slot so you can easily move them back or forward to suit you riding position.

On the Job!!

As i took off "sitting" i couldn't even notice they were even there, it's only when you stand they come into play, straight away i felt them locking into the back of my boot and as you accelerate you can notice that you have less weight on your arms reducing Arm Pump. Going up hills was unbelievable, i could power on and not get thrown back onto the seat. These thing are the best thing since Coloured Jocks and if you can afford a set go out and buy some, you'll never look back.
Retail Price is around $150 and you can buy spare rollers for around $45 a Set.
Give them a go and see for yourself how easy you can accelerate and climb hills with more confidence.

Obvious question, what about down hills?

I think I'll get some for my bike, Pete don't feel bad if I don't like em, after all I'm buying them on your say so ;D

I'm working on downhill assist  ;D ;D ;D

Well Frankie, i was sceptical but now i have "SEEN THE LIGHT"

That was a serious question Pee-air. Do they stop you getting your weight back over the rear. And no, that's not some kind of sexual innuendo. :-*

INNUENDO!!

That's an Italian suppository!

 ;D

I have no trouble getting my weight over the Rear, and Yes, that's some kind of Sexual In-the-end o!!!

Forget it. I'm sorry I asked.

So it's just that neoprene ring that you push your boot side into to stop them rotating back?

Correct!!

After pee-airs recomendation I ordered a set yesterday so will let you know how good they are after Cheynes bridge ride. Will

So if you put your boots behind going down hills would that help?

I just ordered some anti- fatigue Gel filled Hand grips, with anti vibration Tech, a mate in NZ has had them for a couple of months and swear by them. You can get them in Orange only, so i'm a bit dissapointed that you can't get Blue. These grips will go well with the Steg Pegs as they will also help with Arm Pump.

So let me get this straight...

You're gonna replace the neoprene rings on your Steg Pegs with anti-fatigue, gay-orange hand grips!

Gonna be a bugger of a thing to ride!  How will you see where you're going with your hands hehind your boots!

 ::)

Pete a guy that rides with dread locks on a big bore dont need anti fatigue hand grips ....  Sure your not getting soft.

"Mate" I'm so Hard a Cat Couldn't chew on it!!!

Dont go changing the subject Pee-Air - If you put your boots behind em going down hill would that help?

I will answer your question after my Good Friday ride.

My Steg's arrived Thursday so I fitted them that night. Had to modify my exhaust heat shield slightly and fit the LH one between my frame and after market stand.
What did I think ?
A little disappointed first of, as with the LH one fitted, you could not remove the LH side cover to gain access to the air filter box without loosening the LH peg off it's top mount. As I keep some tools in the air filter box I then had to make sure I had a 8mm T bar in my bum bag so I could gain access to the air filter box when required.
Road Neerim on Saturday with them on and found I liked them straight off, I found I could comfortably stand going around fast corners and felt stable.
For the first time I was comfortable standing when hill climbing. Going down hills, I have a bit to work out as to get my weight back I had to spread my knees to get behind them or just to the side of them. The LH one needs slight adjustment out, as I cannot feel this one the same amount as the RH side. I also had to make sure my knees were loose when standing going fast over rough terrain so I could absorb the bumps as I found it would jar through your lower back since your legs from the knees down could not move back only forward.
Even though I did not find I had to hang on like grim death when accelerating when standing the 540, I still had to hang on, but I think with stronger stomach muscle's you would not have to hang on as much. I had no arm pump yesterday at all but am keen to see what they will be like on the faster stuff next week.
They certainly give me more confidence when standing and would recommend them to anyone looking for that extra support when standing. Thanks Pe-air for your recommendation. Will

I've been thinking about those Steg Pegs for a while now, after reading what Peter Ross had to say about them made up my mind that I too had to have a pare, so I fitted them to my Kato 300 to-day, bolted on without any mods, as Will said, the left side sits in front of the air box cover, & will have to be removed to get access to the filter, not to worried about that, I'll let ya know what I think of them after next weekend ride.
