Where can I find Wide Footrests for 34L

Post by vanandy »

Hi

I'm thinking of replacing me original diddy footrests (might stop me falling off...not) and I can remember reading here someone had wide footrests fitted, unable to find again, anyone know of suppliers?

Thanks for that, a bit worried coming from the post office china :chinese: , import tax? VAT? Guess most things come from there anyway.
I find it hard to believe they make them, ship them to UK, ship them to me for less than £14. 5p / hour I'm guessing.

I think mine came from a UK seller but it was a while ago never had any trouble with things coming from China
tax wise but maybe I was just lucky?

I got a pair for the tw200,I like them but I keep missing gears because of the wider pegs and not pivoting my foot down far enough to reset the shifter. I have my own pivoting mounts in the works so at least the left one will pivot down in the front for shifting then spring back up. Just need to source out a good torsion spring.

I got a pair of Bosley's for my big ride. Fantastic! I was using Forma Adventure boots, and needed to fit a longer gear lever which I got, courtesy of the brilliant, font of all knowledge, Actionman.
Something that I had to consider was that the pegs had sharp/grippy edges that I smoothed down a bit before the trip because the boots that I was using had softish soles. Pegs were still grippy and boots came back in great knick.
