I have hade them on all my last bikes sense 2007, they are great. I run the longer cleats in the mitten row and outside, it helps tilting my stiff operated fot a bit when shifting and i have 3 cleats on the outer side for not slipping off as easy. 1 bad thing is that the tilt bolts snap off so now i change them out directly when i get a new pair to a 12,9 grade bolt.
True. But you would be talking about a few grams even in comparison to Ti pegs and it's unsprung weight anyway. You would never feel it. I've built my own pegs out of Inconel. That's the shit. I'm a fabricator and welder.
Unsprung? No. Its not below the attachment of the suspension, so it's carried by the suspension, and therefore sprung. Brake calipers, discs and wheels are unsprung.
If you work with metal you know holding aluminum pegs in one hand and stainless in the other is a big difference, more than a few grams. every bit counts when your trying to keep weight down.
I'm pretty sure the added traction and control of your bike would outweigh (*heh*) the cons of heavier footpegs. And I'm almost certain the weight of your footpegs will not be a deciding factor in your races - unless you're consistently losing by like a knobbie lmao
