Peg to pedal swap?
03/31/16 at 09:00:25
 


I noticed on several bobber builds and Serowbot's bike, they swapped the front pegs for bike pedals.

Anyone got tips/tricks for this swap?

What should I be looking for in bear trap pedals, spec wise?

Any issues when in use, harder to shift/brake etc?

I think 'bot said he welded his. I don't think it's a simple bolt on.

I considered it a while back. It looks like it would be more comfortable considering you can angle your foot more than the stock pegs.

great idea Bot, but I sold my fab shop, including my TIG box back in '08 when the economy took a $hit and I needed the money ...   Sad

Pedals on a bike are way cool
There is no way I'd use bear traps, though, they're shin killers
not sure if that can be done so they give when you drag a peg?
