Last year hurting my hands on Vortex pegs while helping Lithium setup bikes. Made me wonder if they were one of the most used brands. Thank you for your votes and replies. Rodney

Simple, durable, reasonably inexpensive - Woodcraft.  Just be done with it. 

Woodcraft - Durable - and no more holes in your hand after checking sag....

Yep, can't go wrong with anything that has the Woodcraft logo on it.

yes woodcraft is the way to go

are you kidding me?   woodcraft only

agreed, modualr, easy to find a spare in a pinch if you dont have one... pretty much If I need it, and they make it, its on my bike.

WOODCRAFT.

Woodcraft here too.

I have Vortex, and I like them. I actually prefer the spiked pegs, because I had my outside foot slip of the slick ones in a rain race while trying to turn in. Pucker factor 8! With that said, I have loved everything I have had from Woodcraft, and probably try theirs next.

keep in mind the woodcraft stuff is designed so the stock pegs and brake lever (not sure about shift lever) can still bolt up if you cant find spares and every set of vortex rearsets i've seen crash end up bent if not broken.   

I'm actually running PP Tuning on my R6.  I would rather of had Woodcraft, but they were hard to find at the time I needed them.  The PP Tuning stuff is nice and has held up well in crashes so far.  I do like the sealed bearing pivot points on them.  Very nice stuff.

I do like the ability to use the stock levers on the Woodcraft stuff.  If the PP Tuning's break, I'll replace them with Woodcraft.

Where do you put your feet on the outside?  On the toes or toward the heel?

How would you know? you crashed what, once in the last two years? And the only thing that broke was your leg.
Maybe Woodcraft makes one of those.... :spank:

that right there is some funny sheit.

well... (unlike somebody here, JASON) at least i took my tire warmers off first!!   

When products are of equal quality always go the direction of the companies that support CCS racers with a contingency program. AND always have your own spares.... :biggrin: 

I Like woodcraft too, but the quality could be better.  I realize it is not a nessecity, but I have started running Arata's and these things are engineered.  The roller bearings in the pedals make moving the levers smooth and effertless..  The pegs are designed nicely, and crash well.  But, they are way expensive to buy and expecially fix...  So, make the decision that best suits you...

More towards the toes.

I've had about everything.  I'm using Graves on my R6 and have had the opportunity of crash testing them a bit and have been incredibly impressed.  I've had a few high-speed crashes and have done nothing but barely grind down the pegs.  I know they aren't super cheap, but they have crashed better than anything I have used, plus for some reason they just seem to shift so much nicer than the other brands I have had on the R6. 

That said, if I was buying new ones I would probably go with woodcraft.  I keep a full spare set of the graves stuff with me because I know I most likely won't find spares at the track for them.

woodcraft! not hard to find woodcraft spares trackside either.

Looks like I'll be beefing up my inventory of spare Woodcraft parts!!!!!
