Yeah, yeah...........it was slick out there.

I'm really happy with the Pivot Pegz.
I can feel the bike pivoting under them, kinda like bicycle pegs.

I never thought of them that way. I just pictured them following what your foot does, not the bike. So...they only pivot so far. Do you get a hit to your feet when they reach their stops ?

[Boomhauer]

Not at all Brian. I have never felt them hit.

Do they wear out, and if so can they be rebuilt (pin/bushing) or do you just toss them?

The pegs can be totally rebuilt. Buy the complete rebuild kit, it's the best deal and you will have everything you need in case of a problem. I'm sure some of the stuff could be found locally like the o-rings, lock nuts and maybe even the bushings but I haven't tried as of yet. No need.

I never feel the pegs bottom out on their stops. It took no time to adapt to them and then you really don't even notice or think about them.....until you ride someone elses bike for awhile.

Two things I noticed about the Pivot Pegz:

1) The brake pedal is always at the right height, your boot just pivots into the right position.

2) Shifting is easier. Like the brake side, your boot pivots to shift. The front of the peg lowers to allow your boot to upshift.
With conventional pegs, your boot actually raises up on the front of the peg.

They just seem to feel more comfortable is the best way I can describe them. Everything seems just a little easier - braking, gear changing, moving your weight. You don't really feel them moving directly.
