Post by: Flatcap on October 19, 2008, 09:53 PM: I have to admit to not using pegs anymore mainly because I just don't use them now but placky pegs never sound as good as steel one's on coping!

Totally true,I`ve nothing at all with companies trying new ideas and I`d much rather have a light bike than a hefty beast.I do PMSL at the trendy sprogs at my local park bitching about how "These cranks are better `cos they 0.014grams lighter than yours" or somesuch crap!
