Anyone have any comments on how strong they are?

Better than the S3 Hardrock pegs?

Which is wider Jitsie or S3?

 

Thanks, looking for some wide pegs for the 2016 Monty standard.

I've never used these but the reason for the screwed in pins is to allow replacement to maintain the vital grip on the boots.

My experience with these pins on mountain bike pedals is that they sieze in and you won't easily get them out, you might even damage the rest such that you can't fit new pins, though others may have experience to the contrary. Being softer the alloy wears, as far as I can tell from looking at other bikes, leading to the rests drooping down at the ends which does not help your control.

If you really feel the standard rests are not wide enough I would suggest you get a loop welded on the rear edge - the saving over the alloys will go a good way towards a new tyre when the time comes? Keeping the steel rests sharp only needs the occasional stroke of a file.

I've got 100 hours on my jitsie pegs. I've never had a big crash on them so I can't say how strong they are, and I've never had any reason to replace any of the pins. They're nice and wide, very comfortable.

Wider isn't always better..... I've had the Jitsie pegs and went back to standard.... found I moved forward and backward on the bike easier.  IMHO.....

 Standard pegs and mounts are the best. This is why. http://www.trialscentral.com/forums/topic/61009-montesa-4rt-frame-snap/#entry431193

Ah - but which standard mounts??

The steel ones on the plain Jane 4rt

Or

The alloy ones on the Repsol

My 2007 Repsol has the alloy footpeg hangers and I have the Jitsie alloy pegs

They seem fine for balance and comfort - not sure the pins are a benefit, they hinder sliding your boots

I have thought about removing them

Pins are just fashionable at present

Any extra wear and tear on your boots? 

 

A few comments that I will go through boots quicker...

No particular extra wear to boots
