    Just a quick question, Im fed up with my elbows fighting my knees while trying to tuck in. If I purchase some rearsets and move the pegs further back it would assist. I am not keen on lowering them and start a scraping issue in corners (unless there is scope to lower them without an issue?)

    Main question is; do all rearsets allow adjustment further back without moving them further up?

    Also has anyone increased the seat height at the rear of the saddle to provide an easier tuck in position.

    Maybe a combination of both. I have seen the thread on here using adapters to enable the OEM pegs to be repositioned, a better option financially.

    I'm not after a Robocop "stretched out ball squashing position" but somewhere inbetween!!

    I'm approx 6'3" 2014 blade

    I am 6"2 and have no problem tucking in, although I do have some nice Gilles VCR rearsets that help me, as these go further back and are dropped a little also.

    What's the adapters to enable movement of existing rear pegs... ?

    Like the sound of that till I can afford the Gilles or a secondhand set becomes available!

    The OE sets are too far forward.

    Does anyone know if these 2013 rear sets would fit a 2014 blade?

    Diamond racing rearsets

    Seems perfect for £150

    I'm a big fan of the Italian made Bonamici Rear Sets.

    They are good value, look ACE and crash well as a brucie bonus!

    I run them on my Track Bike and would have bought some for my road bike too if I hadn't dropped on Matts unwanted Gilles VCR's off him for £150 instead! :D
