Hero Blobs

[Motorbreath]

Aren't the pegs designed to bend back a bit to prevent that from happening? Feel free to ridicule me, I'm just curious as I haven't quite reached that level yet

Yes but sometimes the little steel heroblob can act as an anchor if there are irregularities on the tarmac. The bare footpeg is much bigger and it is made of aluminum, it wears a lot when it hits the tarmac, so it is safer. Even the bare pegs are too long for the track, there is still enough tyre to lean a bit more.

I seem to have opened a can of worms - I wasn't really asking for opinions on the merits of the 'hero blobs' - I've been through my scrapping pegs on the ground with my knee down period of my riding life.


I use the hero blobs these day to remind me to stop being a silly old fool and not to lean so far I scrape my frame or exhaust - you also have to remember that bike magazine journalists are super heroes who of course would take them off.


I have now got the part number for the technically named 'bolt' (4SV-27435-00) so will order some up - thanks and sorry for bringing it up!
