Do a bit of a spelling check on your front page mate, it'll look way more professional.
No offence meant like, I did buy one of your first ones and reckon its a brilliant idea!
Looks like a great product! Do just the peg bits snap off the arm commonly? Fortunately I haven't found out.
Can you send them with the allen keys too as my bloody bike only has one allen key and one screwdriver as the toolkit! If so how much?
How about fixer levers? He he he.

Yes, if you so much as look at them funny, the footpeg itself is on a hinge so can get out of the way, leaving the lever to get ripped off. (also its alloy, so fairly brittle)
I got mine from the post office earlier as I was not around to get the parcel.
Top bit of kit, I got one of the fixer pegs and a normal one. I have the right keys so will keep it under the seat of me gixer just in case (my MT-03 has bars on that should protect those pegs).
You never know when you might need it so I'd advise anyone on a run to consider one.

Have sent PM :)

Carrying one of these under your seat has got to be much better than standing around in the rain and freezing cold for three hours waiting to be recovered.:)

Great idea mate, I wish I had though of that! Looking forward to seeing you on Dragons Den soon...
Good luck with it!

Good product!
You asked for some website feedback so here you are.
Text difficult to read (all in italics and small?), spelling errors, seems to be designed for an 800 by 640 screen which is a bit past it, most pages use 1024 pixel width now which would give you more room for a smoother layout. There's not enough pictures and maybe it needs a little 'storyboard' strip showing it being fitted to a broken lever, people can be a bit thick sometimes and might not get how it works.
Having to have a paypal account to purchase might be a put off too, you can arrange with paypal to set up a paying system where the purchaser doesn't have to have a preregistered account with them.
Good luck with your site.
Good product! Hope it does well...
Any plans to get the design protected and sell to big chains??

Thanks for that:)
This is very helpfull information
I will look into changing the size & layout
and the story board strip is a really good idea
The paypal does accept credit & debit cards without having to register for a paypal account. on the payment section which takes you to paypal there is a link on the left where all the credit card icons are, but as you say, this would need to be clearer on the main web pages,
Thanks again for that, very helpfull suggestions
Cheers

I'll supply with both allen keys for an extra £1
Will you be doing a version that's hasn't got a rough surface? I have found that this type of fitting makes short work of the top of your boots. How about a rubber covered version like the original?

Good thinking
The get-me-home FIXER-PEG, is designed for exactly that. To get you home if you're unfortunate enough to brake a peg of either your rear brake lever or gear selector.
Although you can just fit & forget it (I've done just over 1000 miles with mine on now), it would be better to fix a replacement peg to your lever or buy a new one and replace the FIXER-PEG back under your seat in case of another spill.
The FIXER-PEG is designed to clamp onto the lever in four directions to make it quick to fix to numerous different makes of bikes, but this in it self makes it quite strong.
If you happen to drop your bike with the FIXER-PEG still on, it is more likely that the lever will snap further down, making a tempoary repair more difficult.
And to keep prices down the FIXER-PEG is manufactured from one piece billet aluminium with just the three screws needed to fix it
But the replacement pegs are a different matter. that's along your line of thinking, I'll get on it,
Cheers

Impressive!
Think I will have to buy one, droped my bike the other day and snaped my gear selecter off.. Luckily I was at home (fell over cos the side stand came up and i didnt realise as i was on the wrong side), and so got the old man to take it to work and get it welded.
:notworthy:

DavieSV donated 3 Fixer-Pegs to Mrs Tiger's charity run last month. Now I'm sure it's really some kind of elaborate tax dodge, but it was very much appreciated. :thumbsup:
