Griso lowered foot pegs?

[DeBenGuzzi]

Anyone try these? Do they help the leg position much? I'm 6'2" and getting old (ill admit it) the knees are too hard on me after 30-45min, it's one of the main reasons I'm looking to sell her, just feel too tall, everything else is great, maybe there is no fixing a bike made for someone 5'8"

They even make 1.5 and 2in lower pegs! That sounds more like it

  i've heard good things about knight designs lower pegs . i'm using buells now,

  but you'll probably have to lower your shift & brake levers to compensate for the lower pegs.

  and possibly extend the brake & shift ends 1/2" so you won't be pigeon toed when shifting & braking, as they're moved out about half inch..

  i've done this on my V11, & it's pretty easy & works fine for me, don't know what it entails on a griso. it is for a griso, no?

I broke my patella 6 months ago and was unable to get comfortable on my Griso so I have fitted the Knight design pegs  - first I went to the 1" lower version then wanted more room, so fitted the 2" versions. The 2" do require you to lower the brake and gear shift - especially the gearshift, it is not adjustable, as I found out the hard way. I then bought the adjustable shift and brake ends from Knight Design as well.

They are a great product, although now I find I grind quite hard especially on the left hand side - I have even had the "puckering" experience of the bike changing up a gear when the gearshift touched on a hard bump mid corner.

They do make the Griso much more a Touring option for those who are compromised in very long legs or don't enjoy the high cramped standard position - but it does come with a drawback if you still enjoy "getting up" the bike in corners.

My knee has improved so I may be re-fitting  the 1" lower versions again.

 

I will post photos of the 2" pegs once I get home tonight.

I find that, now that I am older, actually stretching (doing some deep knee bends, etc) before I get on goes a long way towards keeping my bad knees happy. And it doesn't cost me ground clearance and safety.
