Default Fat Bob And Switch Blades

I'm wondering what people with Fat Bobs and switch blades think of them (the switch blades)? Do they help with comfort on long rides?

I have them on my bike and love them for longer rides. They also provide a nice wide base while closed which I like for hooking my heals on top for a nice stretch too, or open the blades and hook my treads in for a nice stable floorboard feel.

Just my 2c

I ran them for a while but I could not keep the right one tight. If I put a lot of pressure on the right one it might spin and just never felt secure. I switched to Kury Iso-duallys with heel rests and you could jump on these and not get them to move, good secure feel. Not putting the Switchblades down, pretty good product just a little gimicky for me. Mike

I like em, but you have to tightened the retracting arm down from time to time and make sure you use blue loctie when installing pegs. They are comfortable, fell good straight up and feel like a floorboard when open just not as sturdy.

Love them. Only wish they were black instead of chrome.

I know that someone mentioned Kury iso-dulleys, so I got to wondering if there are other pegs out there similar to switch blades in that you can vary your foot position. That is really what I'm looking for and I'd like them to look good also. I like the look of the switch blades.

Do you have more info/pics on the iso-duallys? I searched for them on the Kury site but didn't find them.
