Keepers Footbraces? DON'T!

In Response To: Shop: Keepers Footbraces (Juan Luis)

I'd suggest getting Yakima foot braces instead. IMO, Keepers are junk. The rails bend over time and the foot pegs pop off, always at the most inopportune times. I would never put them in a boat and if I ever buy another one that has them, I'll replace them immediately.
