: Good find! A guy who used to hang around here once calculated that the
: maximum sheer force on a footpeg bracket would be around 40 lb., so these
: should work just fine.

He must not have heard about the surfers who have buried their kayaks nose in the beach, where their accelerated weight went on the pegs which broke and they became jammed feet first up inside the bow.

So what's so bad about having round bolt heads on the outside?
