Gotta have 'em! As others have said, be sure and get the one's with the most adjustment. Only way to go if you're putting down miles.

Agree with the others, I won't ride with out them. I spend more time on them than off of them, regardless if I'm around town or the highway. Just more comfortable and natural to me.

I can't live without them. Some of them are damn expensive though! I mount them so I can stretch out. having them so close I could put my toe on them from the floorboard wouldn't work for me.

Fyi I'm 5'7 with a 30 inch inseam and 170 lbs (feels like a personal ad lol)
Thanks. Mike

Love them... I had to get the adjustable with extensions due to my 5'8"ness
And a drivers backrest, ride all day

For me, pegs and the adjustable back rest are the keys for comfort.
