This thread got me thinking about my own pegs. Currently, they are down low. But I might like them high. But I really do like them low.

I think I might put another set of pegs on up high and leave the existing Pegs down low.

Or not.

I'd have to agree with you. I've only used mine a few times. Stretching my legs a little sometimes isn't worth the increased pressure on my tail.

Mine are about an inch above the level of the board and tilted inward about 1.5 inch. They're almost a foot away from the board. My leg is just shy of straight out. They're not symmetrical either. I put the heel of my right boot on the peg and the hook the heel of the left under the peg so it's resting on the middle of the sole. (don't know how else to explain it)
