Thanks Harry, I've seen them before, the only drawback I see are that they are not adjustable.

Tbh you tend to ride on the balls of your feet shifting your weight around on the track rarely sitting in the seat so unless your really tall it doesnt tend to matter that they arent adjustable (you can always put more foam on the seat or raise it if its a track bike). I'll grant you that they arent as pretty and only come in one colour but they crash well and you can get bits.

They look sweet. Wish I had the money for them. Whats the quality like?

Nobbylad · 03-07-12, 10:17 PM

OK - well the only thing I can compare against are the Valter Moto rearsets I had once.

These are 'OK' in comparison, the CNC levers, plates, mounts etc are good quality, the pegs and heel plates are...a bit like what you'd expect from Chinese ebay sellers I guess.

I know that's a massive sweeping statement, but the heel plates are a bit 'flimsy' and the knurling on the pegs isn't top notch.

But for £125 delivered, I think they're good.

I was a bit wary of the durability due to the thinness of the material where the heel plate and rear brake cylinder mounting holes are, but I guess time will tell.

Hmm so would you feel confident standing up on the pegs

Nobbylad · 04-07-12, 05:08 AM

The pegs are solid and very grippy, so yes, I would feel confident standing on them.

The only concern I have is with the thickness of the material around the holes where the heel plates/rear brake cylinder are. But I guess they are areas that don't have a lot of force applied.
