Touchdown, Or The Lack Of.

[Rents]

Odd question but does anyone here get the pegs on their 9'er to touch down easily enough?

 

I'm by no means a balls out racer but I do like the twisties and am quite intrigued by the lack of "chicken strips" for lack of a less stomach churningly lame expression, on my back tyre.

 

I've got barely a couple of mm before there is no more room for error but I've never got the pegs down once.

 

Any bikes I've had in the past have always had a bit more fresh rubber on show for the ladies.

 

Tyres fitted are both the correct size for bike Bridgestone T31's

 

No complaints here, I love the way this bike handles, I just don't want to go too far and was wondering if my pegs should be giving me any warning yet? Doesn't look like they have been raised in any way.

 

I'd read a review on the TDM before I bought one and that guys was saying the pegs touch down far too early...I take everything with a pinch of salt though!
