Default Rearset Questions?

I think I need to change out the rearsets on the bike. I am 5'8" with a 30" inseam having a little trouble locking my knees to the tank. Any input will be helpful. Thank you. Not sure wich ones to buy no track riding. Wearing boots to ride all the time and have the Stomp Grips on the tank.

Interesting, I am 5:8 and don't have that issue with locking my knees against the tank. There are quite a few threads here about rearsets, do a search.....

Are you riding with the balls of your feet on the pegs? Or your heels?

I'm the same height and about same inseam. I found that I needed to shift where I was sitting in the seat to get a good lock on (I.e. Shift back a bit) but don't have any troubles now. I have techspecs which don't grip as strongly as stomps. Stock rearsets.

But.. the Techspecs looks SOO much sexier IMHO Roughly same deal here.. I have to scooch back a bit.. 1-2" is all I need to feel a bit more secure.
