Boots
I'm in the market for some new boots. I am not really hard on boots, just the sole. Since I am a stand up rider, (most of the time) I really destroy the sole, from my pegs chewing them up. I also shred the sole near the ball of my right foot from my brake pedal.....
I have had MSR, Fox and Alpinestars in the past. I am leaning towards a pair TCX? Lets hear some feed back..... What da think?

hey rick..
i was destroying the sole of my rh boot by the ball also, until i changed to the yamaha kick lever.. It seems like the oe lever gets very close to the peg when you kick start it. Never noticed it until i was cleaning my gear one day.. wow...that corner of boot was gone... just a thought.. Yours may be different... no input on boots... i am looking for new ones too.. I have alpinestars now, have replaced multiple buckles, but have been ok other than that.. I am actually looking for the kind with the molded soles. My riding bud has a pair, and we end up walking alot looking for trails and stuff, he says they feel just like hiking boots.. Probably not too good for racing ..

I have Gaerne SG-10, I've had them for 4 years and they are still holding up great. Very comfortable, doesn't even feel like I am wearing boots. I believe they have discontinued the sg-10's the equivalent is sg-12's I think. I would look for some sg-10's on closeout somewhere. That is what I did when I bought mine bought the previous years models and saved a bunch of money.

Another vote for Gearne SG-10's. Been wearing mine for 4 years too. Great boot and comforatble as hell.

sidi has srs, sole replacement system on their top end boots ... plus the boots are pretty much rebuildable, pricey though

I've done this on the last two pairs I've owned. (Foot pegs are a killer from standing) Unless you're unhappy with your current boot or they're falling apart...why would you buy new.

Pivot Pegs should help slow the wearing of your soles and they make shifting and breaking easier in stiff boots.
