tman427 Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 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. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2stroke4stroke Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heffergm Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 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.

mtinwhis Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 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..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 Standard pegs and mounts are the best. This is why. http://www.trialscentral.com/forums/topic/61009-montesa-4rt-frame-snap/#entry431193 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any extra wear and tear on your boots? A few comments that I will go through boots quicker... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
