    Forward sets for a fiver

    When on long routes or m/ways iv,e taken to lifting both feet up on to the crash bars it cools the neather regions and gives the leg a change BUT that position wasn,t just right , so i got to thinking (not always a good thing) if i buy a set of pegs and fix them onto the bars somehow!!!!!! hang on a minute I,M A BRICKY never be able to do that with a lump hammer what about those horn things on mountain bikes so i called in at leCLERC (french asda) and bought a pair 5 euros 7 cent and BY JINGO THEY WORK A TREAT and don,t stick out any further than the handle bars

    Shouldn,t think so Dave as they,re only fixed to the crash bars and if we do go down shhhhh!!! not so loud they will just turn in i tightend them just enough and one good kick can spin them
