Foot pegs

I don't know if you know much about them Marshy, but do the Chinese knock-off Vortex rearsets have the same grip as the genuine ones? Also, can you get the knock-off pegs on there own?

Ahahhahahha!! Touché, although that's a different kettle of fish, that is.

Besides, what are you doing on TT?? Aren't you supposed to be playing hide-the-sausage with the wife on your dirty weekend away?

TBH I haven't tried the Vortex look-alikes. I know Ken (Binking) used to sell those particular ones, and BoB has a set or two, so maybe he can comment. I don't have those ones. The ones I have lots of are the ones below. They are grippy, but not as grippy as the Vortex. The Vortex pegs polarise people - on the one hand they grip like shit to a blanket, and on the other hand they rip holes in the soles of your $700 racing boots!!!!

I've got a few spare new top-brand pegs I've collected over the years, but the ones I stock lots of (and the ones that come on the SS rearsets) are these. The rounded plug is optional and easily removed (I normally don't run them, for better 'side' grip when cornering):

That's why I need them. It's hard to hang 126kg off the side of a bike and the extra grip makes a huge difference.
