We’re stoked you got the pegs! A few points on installation: you DO NOT need to disassemble the pegs. We made it so you can fit the enclosed end of a box-end wrench between the footpeg and the bolt and then spin the peg with the wrench until it’s snug. We had four different wrench brands to benchmark when designing the tolerances. You will still have enough room to tighten it down. We’ve done it on every install without any issues. As for dimples on the back of the mount, we left them without guide holes so if you hit something hard, the peg can rotate. We also wanted people to be able to put them at any angle. So far, we haven’t had any rotation issues. Adding Loctite to the bolt is up to you; Timbersled uses it liberally, and our MTN.TOP kit didn’t come with any. As for torque, we tightened them like any other bolt on the kit. We have hundreds of hours of use on these pegs, tightening them by hand with an open-end wrench. If they spun, we tightened up a little more. If they were head studs, we’d grab the torque wrench for sure. As for the bolt strength, 200 lbs ain’t nothing for a 10mm grade 8 bolt. Can’t wait to see you rip these this winter. If you or anyone has questions feel free to reach out to us!
@@asmodeus338 I have to agree. There is a company making $28 mounts and you supply your own OEM pegs. Try emailing Support@elektrischesracing.com and asking about that product. Looks promising for the price and doesn’t slide on the bolt for install it has a single hole so no risk of loosing a peg on the mtn if the bolt ever came loose.
Like I understand from a business perspective why the product needs to be the price that it is it looks like a really high-quality product but that being said the market doesn’t always support a high-quality part. One could sell bent steel tabs that take stock pegs for a 10th of the R&D cost and you could still probably sell them for 50 bucks with the ability to upgrade to higher end components and sell 50 X.
@@mclarenlewis7845 some of my friends and I are playing around with some cheap $15 pegs we found on Amazon. I’ll report back how those work. I will say though these Sidehill pegs are unmatched in quality. There’s a few design quirks I wish were worked out for the price but it is what it is.
