Hi Gazza, glad you like it. I designed it by myself and a colleague milled the 2 main peaces. The footrests are stock parts from a ktm-freeride e maybe there exist grippier footpegs... Think about using pivot-pegs... (http://www.pivotpegz.info/)

if you ask me, the height of the CG does not affect the grip... I looked at many pro-videos and in 99% they keep the pedals in a horizontal position. no matter how the turn looks like. if the put the inside foot of the pedal, the outer pedal must go down (mechanically there is no other way). if i put the foot down - offcamber - i need do bend my outer leg... right seems less comfortable, but didn't put me in any uncomfortable situation yet

My stand is about 3-4cm lower, than with the usual setup ==> the hole you see on the sideplates, sits on the bottom bracket axle.

not sure if I get you right? but the footpegs are oriented flat. By rotating the ISCG adapter plate, i can adjust the angle from the pegs to the main frame. Changing this angle has a surprisingly big impact in the ride-feeling. by allowing them to rotate, im affraid to slip of way easier... we will see ^^

Not sure why you'd want the pegs so close to the frame. Mount them wider for better handling and if wanted the best overall feel, you'd want something spring loaded that the pedals would sort of "not lean" with the same angle as the bike. The outboard pedal would stay more level the ground as you leaned the bike. Anybody understand what I mean? Basically if you could mount a pivoting BB pointed front to back on the bike and the pegs pivot on that axis like if you stood on a balance board.

With the laser-cut-plate mounted on the iscg, I prevent the rotation of my footpeg-mounting-part. If I'd remove it, the whole assembly could rotate freely just like crank arms do. You think this was it would be better? I could give it a try... would be interesting. I started with this setup, cause it is the established mx-design... as soon as I have news, ill let you know.

What is the advantage? Being able to move with cranks I can shift my body weight where I need. Also does not feel like having my feet just on BB keeps me well balanced on bike as normally I would have one leg way far in front and one behind. And I kinda feel being able to move my pedals around the axle, I can actually stick more to bike better (better grip between shoe / pedal). Probably someone will say this is a moto style, but they have a completely different seat and weight distribution over it. Maybe i'm...

glad my project makes you curious =) you mix 2 things… I was rolling on my dh-bike all the time. Doing this, your pedal force needs to be equal at any time, to keep the crank-arm in a horizontal position. So you are not able to shift your position on the bike by putting load on the front or rear pedal….. So from a mechanical point of view, you stand on the bb-axle anyway
This brings me even to a big downpoint of the crank-arm-setup. The rear leg is bend all the time… (the maximal force it can resist...
