Foot pegs are weird things. Just little folding bits of metal with a slippery coating of rubber. Yep, that’s all that keeps your feet from dragging along the road.
Granted, you can get those metal ones with sharp teeth that rip your boots to pieces over time. But in my case, I inherited the 30 year old rubber ones that were made of rusty metal with a chrome finish. And a whole layer of gunk.
But lo, the wire brush was handy. After an hour they looked almost good enough to put back onto the frame, so that’s what I did.
