yeah I agree rocketfrog, the conversion to spring loaded is easy enough to do but my main question here is 'is it compulsory to have springs fitted'
I and others have were informed last year and this year, by the powers that be on the days, that the pegs must be spring loaded in 08 or you won't be allowed to race until they are changed. This change only really effects the pre'75 and pre '70's etc which did not come standard with such luxuries as 'springloaded' folding footrests.
