Re: Day One - New Project

Max , concerning the foot pegs, I thought trials riders like adjustable pegs that can be moved up and down and front to back depending on riding I conditions. I might wrong here, but I a the trials rider was a rider whom relied a lot on balance, and having a movable peg allowed for that. Bruce
