maybe it's been covered before & if so, please accept my apologies, but:
how are the TW fat little tires in muddy ruts?
do they climb up the sides like a knobby or
spit you sideways like a street-tire?

I want a small single-track bike & the TW is calling to me...

Can someone do me a favor and measure across the TW200 footpeg's inner pivot? The peg pivot of my XT600 footpeg is 7/8" wide and uses a 1/4" pin to hold the peg in place.

I'm trying to find a set of wide pegs, D2Moto has some TW200 pegs I'd like to use if they'll fit on my bike.

Thanks

The TW 200, with a 55 tooth rear sprocket, is the best single track bike you could possibly have IMO! I have done some super gnarly stuff on mine. The tire is insane on the traction. Where skinny tire bikes spin and spin and dig themselves into a hole, the TW plods right on through! And its good for rocks and tree branches and stuff like that too because its less likely to slip sideways under you. Oh and of course you can't forget the super low seat height, which makes it really easy to dab a foot down if you need to.

Hey Bowfin,

Do a search on D2moto for "TW200" and you will find your pegs - no measurements needed! $14.95!

I've got an XT600 and need the measurement to see if the TW200 pegs are compatible.

It's a screaming deal, but there are no pegs listed anywhere for my XT600.

Sorry, I should have made that clearer in my post.

My new TW200 peg set from d2moto is scheduled to arrive today. I will measure them for you.

Thanks! I'm looking forward to it. I love my old '86 XT600, but the aftermarket pickings are slim.

Imagine what it would be like if you could get a trials tire for the rear. The trials tire on the rear of traditional bike opens up entire new realms of traction on all surfaces short of wet leaves and mud.

fyi - the d2moto pegs did not fit! I had to drill out the hole for the pin to a larger size. This only added about 3 minutes to the installation time. Still can't complain for $23 shipped.
