Hi Scott,

What specifically do you like better about the Cascade Designs footpegs. I have the Keepers in my Pygmy Arctic Tern and don't like the fit at all. But I'm not sure if it's the pegs or the positioning of them. I followed Pygmy's measurements but they feel as if my feet are forced into too wide of a "vee". Also, although I'm SURE I placed them correcly, they seem too close to the deck (which is probably why my feet have to be so widely splayed (cool word! ... had to look it up to see if I used it right). And... the platforms seem very small and easy to slip off of.

Are the Cascade Design ones any better in size, adjustability, etc?
